Who likes forwarded emails? I like them ok except for when everyone that has forwarded the email has done so as an attachment. It takes FOREVER to open each and everyone of them until I finally get to the original message. (I use outlook express for my email retrieval). Also another pet peeve with forwarded emails is that you have to scrolls through miles and miles of all those addresses that it has been previously sent to.
People need to learn how to delete all of the previous sending addresses so that the people you send forwarded emails to will just see the body of the email.
By the way, thanks for tall those great emails that someone else has taken the time to create and thanks for making them worth sharing!

I don't mind forwards on two conditions...that the sender use BCC so that my email address doesn't show to everyone on the net and that the forward isn't gross, sick or disgusting (got one a while back on partial birth abortions with graphic pics).
I also don't like the ones that tell me that if I love God I'll forward and if I don't forward it means I hate God or that something terribly horrible will happen.**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Good points to add! I think everyone should use the BCC more often too. I use it for everyone I send forwarded emails to so that when they get the email the TO field says "unspecified recipient".
I don't like the pass it ons that say pass it on or else either. I tend NOT to send it one just because it says to! LOL!

I don't get a whole lot of forwarded emails in my inbox and I am glad in a way. I do like the good ones though that are uplifting or funny. I hate to get alot of junk mail though. My mailbox stays full of surveys and Mylot alerts and that loads my inbox up daily so I don't have much room for forwarded mail. I do appreciate uplifting emails though every now and then.

I do enjoy the good one but I don't like it when they say "pass it on or else". I tend not to pass it on just because it said to and if I think it is too good not to pass it on and it say it somewhere in the email, I delete that part of it off of the email.
