A Worthwhile Signature

Here are some examples from two of your classmates. They put these in the signature of their emails to remind people about the proper netiquette of removing others email addresses when forwarding emails.

Example 1:
If you forward this, please remove all email addresses before you send it on, and use the BCC area when forwarding to friends. This prevents emails circulating on the web with hundreds of contact addresses attached. "Be kind to our email friends."

Example 2:
REMEMBER:  To help curb spam, if you intend to forward this email please delete my address on the FWD Email. If you already do this, thank you!

Here is what I decided to use on mine:
If you forward this, please remove all email addresses before you send it on, and use the BCC area when forwarding to friends. This prevents emails circulating on the web with hundreds of contact addresses attached; easy targets for spammers to gather addresses. Thanks!

  1. I use the first example, but a few of my email friends either don't read it, or don't know what it means!
