I'm finding the number of people in my address book who take it upon

amusing or interesting it goes to their entire address list. Quite often
I'll find an e-mail reply from someone I never heard of, responding to
something I wrote weeks ago.

Why can't individuals just copy and paste the item into a new e-mail?
Once it's forwarded, the original sender's address gets sent time and
again.

Even worse are those AOL'er's who forward mail. I've found that you have
to open the mail as many times as the original has been forwarded. I've
just set up a rule to delete forwarded mails.

Other than switching to Outlook 2003, is there any way to block e-mails
from being forwarded by the recipient using Outlook Express 6?

And what did you do when you received the mail, fwd it.
you are part of the problem not the solution

I'm afraid its the way of the world, if you send a funny email to someone
then they will forward it on to their contacts, its always been like that and
will always be like it.

Not to sound rude but if you don't want contacts you send email to, to
forward them to their contacts then don't send the email in the first place.

Depends on the type of mail server that you use. Exchange, IMAP, or
SMTP? If not Exchange, it's not your mail after it gets sent. There
are copyright issues but the object which is the mail is no longer under
your control. Same problem would occur if you sent out postal e-mail to
the same recipients (providing they didn't care about the cost of
postage and making hardcopies of your postal mail).

There is nothing you can do to prevent forwarding, but if you send it via
BCC, at least no one will see any address but yours.

Some people are just plain rude. eg

To use the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) feature, In Create Mail, either click
ViewAll Headers and type in the addresses separated by a ;

Or: Click the To button. You will see your list of contacts and the choice
of putting them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, then click
BCC to add it. Repeat for all the contacts you want. (Note: Most ISP's have
limits as to how many e-mails you can send a one time. 25 is common, but it
varies).

Put your own address in the To box. This is the only address/name that any
recipient will see. If you leave the To field blank, some people may not
receive the e-mail due to message rules they have set up, or restrictions
set by their ISP.

There are ways to edit a forwarded message to clear out all the email
addresses of previous forwards. It is relatively easy. Even after
explaining how, and why, most people I know still do it the wrong way.
Laziness. The only sure way to avoid it is to not send them anything
worth forwarding.

There is no mail client which affords that kind of control over email.
Unless you have control of the message system your client connects with,
you have no control over the message. Even if you had Exchange set up,
your correspondents would have to have an account on your Exchange
server for you to exert that kind of control. Once an email lands on an
SMTP server outside of your control, the message is beyond your control.

What are you talking about? I never forward mail!
How did you reach this conclusion?

I've started to edit e-mails I send because of that. Before I write
anything, I take into account the possibility it's going to be forwarded.
I've also created another e-mail address for e-mails I send that I think
may be forwarded.
