[DM-MUG] Spam

[Jon Thompson]

If you do a BCC, it will protect the recipients from finding out about  
one another.  However, it will not protect _you_ from having your  
email address associated with all forwards of said email until someone  
strips the headers out.  In other words- spreading chain email is a  
bad idea.
