Actually what I do is copy and past just the body of the email with out the addresses all with out forwarding the thing, then I create a merge in outlook and it sends the message out. If anybody wants the podcast link I can give it to you. Let me know. I use jaws 10 and outlook 2003 for this particular podcast.
Take care. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Marilyn Walker Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 6:18 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] try it again-moneytalks Do you really know how to forward e-mails? Most of us DO NOT know how. Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? ---------- Every time you forward an e-mail, there is information left over from the people who got the message before you -- namely their e-mail addresses & names. As the messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some poor sap to get a virus, and his or her computer can send that virus to every email address that has come across his computer. Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes that you will go to the site and he will make five cents for each hit. That's right, all of that inconvenience over a nickel! ---------- How do you stop it? Well, there are several easy steps: ---------- (1) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of the message (at the top). Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever you know how to. You MUST click the 'Forward' button first and then you will have full editing capabilities against the body and headers of the message. If you don't hit the forward button first you won't have full editing functions. It is annoying to most people to have to scroll through 200 e-mail addresses before you get to the email. ---------- (2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the "To:" or "Cc:" fields for adding e-mail addresses.. Always use the BCC: (blind carbon copy) field for listing the e-mail addresses. This is the way the people you send to will only see their own e-mail address. When you send to BCC: your message will automatically say 'Undisclosed Recipients' in the 'TO:' field of the people who receive it. That way you aren't sharing all those addresses with all and sundry. ---------- (3) Remove any 'FW:' in the subject line. You can re-name the subject if you wish or even fix spelling. ---------- This one is very important - please read and heed. (4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail you are reading. By Forwarding from the actual page you wish someone to view, you stop them from having to open many e-mails just to see what you sent. These are the ones that often end up having picked up a virus from somebody. This is really important! ---------- (5) Have you ever gotten an email that is a petition? It states a position and asks you to add your name and address and to forward it to 10 or 15 people or your entire address book. The email can be forwarded on and on and can collect thousands of names and email addresses. A FACT: The completed petition is actually worth a couple of bucks to a professional spammer because of the wealth of valid names and email addresses contained therein. If you want to support the petition, send it as a separate message or letter to the intended recipient. ---------- (6) Some of the worst e-mails are the ones that say something like, 'Send this email to 10 people and you'll see something great run across your screen.' Or, sometimes they'll just tease you by saying something really cute will happen. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!!! ---------- (7) Before you forward an Amber Alert, or a Virus Alert, or some of the other ones floating around nowadays, check them out before you forward them. Most of them are junk mail that's been circling the net for Years! Just about everything you receive in an email that is in question can be checked out at Snopes. Just go to: http://www.snopes/>http://www.snopes. com/ ---------- It's really easy to find out if it's real or not. If it's not, please don't pass it on. So, please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail and the viruses. ---------- Finally, here's an idea!!! Let's send this to everyone we know (but strip my address off first, please). This is something that SHOULD be forwarded.
