Do you read all the forward emails you get?

The problem with me is I have given my main email address to many of my friends and I recieve most of the spam there. I have other email addresses which I use only for online transactions. Many of my friends don't know about those ids. Sometiems I think sending forward emails is a token of love saying that 'I am still thinking of you'.Thanks for the response.

True some people seem to think if they forward a nice chain e-mail about love and careness, then the reciever should know they are still thinking of you and so forth. But to be honest id rather have them writing me a 3-5 line email about how life is going rather then a 100-line chainmail forwarded.

My husband also has the same opinion like you. Yes, it is nice to write three or four lines about their life, but it is easy to forwrard emails. You can send the same email to multiple people at the same time and there by you save some time compared to writing personal emails to ten different people. Have you recieved emails with a warning saying 'if you don't forward the email something bad will happen in your life in one week'? I hate those kinds of emails. People are scared that something bad will happen and keep forwarding those emails to many people.

Yes, I agree that there are nice forward emails also, but soemtimes I get the same email again and again. I don't like to read it in that case. You are a tricky person it seems. I never got the idea of editing the subject. Sometimes we sent forward emails just to say that you are thinking about the person. Thanks for the response.

Ok. Before starting this discussion, I had a feeling in mind that most people go through all the forward emails they get. The responses to this discussion say that most people aviod reading boring forwards and they value their time. That is a good practice. I get a lot of forward emails, but I think the number is reduced over years. Thanks for the response.

I am also like you. I delete those kind of emails without reading them. Some religion emails come with a warning saying something bad will happen if you don't forward the email to atleast ten people. This is a trick to keep the email forward. I hate those kind of emails. My husband used to get a lot of forward emails boosting the spirit of military people. He hated them a lot and never opened them. Thanks for the response.

Yes, my husband is always busy and he doesn't have time to read them. He is doing his research in Economics and Geography and the same time lecturing in a college. I never get forwards from unknown people, all from my friends and relatives. Yes, I also forward some nice emails once in a while. Thanks for the response.

I also don't have the time to open all emails and read them. I think it is waste of time going through dump forward emails. Sometimes forward emails have a nice message to share. I forward those emails to some of my close friends. It is good that you told your mother openly about what you think. Hope your mom will take it in the right sense. Thanks for the resposne.
