Do you read your spam mails or you just delete them, I normally check the subjects and senders before deleting them, I hardly open the content of the mails unless it is from somebody I know or it relates to my area of interests.
What of you, do you read them?

I empty my spam folders without even looking to see what's there. I get tons of email and don't care if I miss something.
I know my friends mail goes into friends folder and some unknowns go into my mail folder. If a friend has a new email and goes into the main folder, I make a new rule to put it were I want next time. Anything that looks like spam in my main folder is marked spam and deleted unopened. I'll never see anything from that person again.

I just check the senders name and if it is something from a trusted source I open it. Otherwise it is just select all delete for me. I don't have time for spam. I never lost an important mail doing so.

Spam mails are mostly spams so I prefer to delete them. But sometimes important mails go to spam folder so I am bit cautious.

that is right, you get to check if you have any with familiar e-mail address and afterward you delete.

I do check only spam emails because sometimes some important email are being sent to that folder by mistake. i don't delete them by myself because I'm too lazy to delete them(there are hundreds of them everyday). MSN will delete them after sometimes anyway.

I usually select the option "delete all spam messages" without even reading or knowing where it came from unless otherwise when I register to a site wherein it will tell me to check the bulk or spam box if not found in the inbox. I less care about the spam messages and even don't bother to read it. hehehe

Hi okwusman1
I do not read them all.Just check on the sender name and Message subject.If I find them to be interesting or Important then go through them,who takes time to read every single spam after all.But,normally it comes into this-I check all of them at once and just delete them.

Oh that is what I do also always, I must check the subjects and sender so that some important message that goes to the spam will not be deleted. thanks!

I may read them if they look interesting and they don't come with an attachment then i usually just delete them. I like to read the Nigerian money ones. They make me wish i was rich or that there are people out there that dumb to believe what they get from a random email.

Don't mind the Nigerians, they have spoiled the name of that reputable country. Anyone I see that is talking about money, I quickly delete it. I hate such mails.
