I usually try & find soemwhere on-line that explains why this is ascam & sned the linkto the person that sent it, sometimes to the whole list if I am in a 'told you so' mood.

I agree, delete it.

Sometimes snopes.com proves these e-mails false.

Pretty much anything that starts with 'I don't usually forward messages like this, but...' gets deleted immediately.

I delete them and then tell my friend that I hate junk mail if he/she doesn't stop sending it, I will add his/her address to my spam filter

I delete and then I call up the friend who sent it to me to laugh at them.

LOL yeah. My MIL and SIL do it all the time. And we've told them about 100 times that these emails are not true.
