Hi Dennis:

By all means delete without even reading such garbage.

It is unfortunate but very true that anything you get that is
in any way suspicious these days, no matter whom it "APPEARS" to be from,
should be deleted out of hand.

If it looks like garbage, talks like garbage, and walks like garbage,
then treat it like garbage

Emails must, now-a-days, be plain text,no HTML. if there are to
be attachments then I demand that the body of the message
discribe exactly what file, including the file name/extension, it
is, what it contains and whom its from and why its being sent.

Just a name in the headder is absolutely not sufficient to justify trust.
Even then, no ligit company should send any attachment containing program
code or any other such program like material.  If someone has an
update for you, then they should tell you who they are, what
they're announcing, and where to go find, presumably on a site
that is clearly and specifically connected with the web site of
the appropriate company.

Also subject lines must be specific to the message, just "hey
dude' is enough to trash it rite now.

Darned shame isn't it.

Maybe some day when the scumm with nothing else to do get the idea that
people aren't buying trash anymore they'll quit.

But sadly lots of people are still buying trash, and electing it too! <G>

Wish us all luck we need it.
