What to do with forwarded-forwarded e-mail?

If you can no longer tolerate e-mails that have been forwarded many times before they reach you, here's what you can do.

Forwarded messages have their Subject line filled with Fwd: fw. you can simply block them out by creating a rule in OE that filters messages with such a Subject. Click on Tools, Message, Rules and Mail. Click on New and then select When Sujbect line contains specific words. Go to Rule description and click on contains specific words. Type in Fwd: fw. Under Select the action for your rule, choose Delete it.

The next time you are sent a message that has been hopping around the planet, OE will simply delete it.
