Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate
it? 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 E-mail 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).
That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them,
backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It
only takes a second. 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 click on "Forward" first, you
won't be able to edit the message at all.
(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. If you don't see your BCC: option click
on where it says To: and your address list will appear. Highlight
the address and choose BCC: and that's it, it's that easy. When you
send to BCC: your message will automatically say "Undisclosed
Recipients in the "TO:" field of the people who receive it.
(3) Remove any "FW:" in the subject line. You can re-name the
subject if you wish or even fix
spelling.
(4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail
you are reading. Ever get those e-mails that you have to open 10
pages to read the one page with the information on it? 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.

in elementary words lazy or stupid ones ahead mail with the handle of the unique sender. you could continually go with reply button(for forwarding). yet be careful to delete earlier addresses from the message, INSERT your recipient's handle and delete unique sender's handle.
