"WEB MAIL'S MALICIOUS EXPLOITATION" Page 1, 2, 3

Dangerous Potential

Sending an email message without knowing what you send, even without knowing that you send sounds frightening.

Your best "friend" telling your significant other (isn't `political correctness' romantic?) to go to hell is not the worst case scenario -- if things are right they won't believe it (believe me), if they believe it you get the chance to get things right.

A death threat that traces back to you could get you into some serious trouble. Recently, there have been a number of cases where people where convicted of sending email death threats.

There is also more than one "trial" in the news at the moment where email played a (major) role.

With this in mind, shouldn't we bid the Net farewell?
