Just reading these messages is not harmful, as long as you do the following:

1. Do not open any attachment.

2. Set your email client so that it does not load any images. Spammers typically embed "invisible" GIF images in their messages. If you view the message, even in preview mode, the spammer will know that your email address is valid and you'll get spam forever.

3. Set your email client so it does not send return receipts.

4. You're best off not using the Outlook or Outlook Express email clients, as these are the ones commonly targeted by virus writers and spammers.

Easiest solution but not the cheapest- go buy a MAC. So far no serious viruses are written for or can even penetrate the Mac.
My spam is non-existent. It came set up that way.

I switched over from the Windows thing last year and bought the MAC for Dummies book to help me get adjusted.

The filter programs do a search of the words in the email and process them to determine if it is junk mail or not. For some reason the gibberish actually tricks the filter program into thinking that it is not junk mail when in fact it is.

FWIW, Nathan

the bad guys type out this gibberish, full of random phrases so the web searches will pick up the message

when some poor sucker finds this and opens it, the attachment can start doing bad things to your computer and pocketbook

my brother compared it to chumming

Keep opening crap like that and you're gonna find yourself with a nice little case of computer social disease. :>)

There are many NEW viruses put out there everyday and you would have to update your virus definitions every hour to keep ahead of the game. Be safe hit Delete key.

Its a lot easier nowadays than it used to be.

My ex-wife managed to delete me and she didn't even have a keyboard either. :>)

ROTFLMAO

The safest way to use email is thru hotmail, gmail, yahoo mail, any of the email hosts that you can read your email in your web browser.

Almost all email viruses are targetted at email clients like Outlook and the like.

I also like the free web based email so you don't have to change your email address if you go from one internet service provider to another...if anyone wants a gmail invite, let me know, I have 100 of them to use up, then gmail will send more. gmail is Google's free email service.
