Yeah, but a title line like “About Your Memo” loses some of its interest when the originating e-mail address ends in .ru or .tv, since I’m not in the habit of sending memos to Romania or Tuvalu.
I think y’all been missing the point. If I read correctly, Miss Poddy’s not talking about spam email.
No, I think she’s talking about email from her COW-IRKERS.
You’ve got my sympathies, Pod. My officemate & I have conversations very similar to your OP on a near-daily basis. It does help, a bit, since we can entertain each other with the replies we’d LIKE to send. 
My favorite was when he responded to a status-report request with a page-long email that suggested the use of chicken entrails and ouija boards. (You can’t predict the run-time on a query. And we have people here that have asked the same question “when will my query be done” on a weekly basis for several years now. TheD had had enough, that day.)
Isn’t it amazing how they all think that you work for them and ONLY them?
Hope you feel better for the ranting.
Link as requested for a “twelve-inch cock”. Heh. 
You can spend $18.95 and “grow” it yourself [leers obscenely], otherwise it’s $49.95.

Damn here I was with my bank acct. number ready to help those fine people in nigeria. Oh well…
I’m a bit disappointed, myself.
I recently got my VERY FIRST spam email and it was just that Nigerian one. Dammit, I wanted something new, something different, something special for my first time. Y’know what I mean? 
This is a widespread malady, folks.
It’s not just the spammers.
It’s not just the co-workers.
It’s not just the glurge and the virus hoxes and the chain letters.
It’s not just the random people emailing me because I have a web page.
There are stupid people everywhere with their inane efforts to make their mail seem more important than everyone else’s, and I hate them, and I want them all to die–or at least lose their internet access.
This is the A-number-one reason I refuse, with atypical Luddism, to use anything but a plain-text email program. I can’t even imagine the horrors that would be unleased if I could see the email of certain correspondents in the full glory of its original formatting. If you can’t make your point in ASCII, may the Almighty Strunk and His Prophet White have mercy on your soul.
Webpage?
Damnit, I never get any e-mail about my webpage.
Put up a page or two that relate popular high school essay topics, KJ. You’ll be beating them off with a stick.
No thanks, they can beat themselves off on their own time.
Ah! Gotcha.
Well, like I said, I only just started getting spam and I’ve only had two. No one sends me glurge or chainmail anymore (unless it’s funny). I can be evil, nasty & mean, I can. And I’ve been too lazy to put up my own webpage (although my name is on another page, which is where the spam is coming from - guess I’ll have to get a throwaway acct for that).
All of mine comes from cowirkers. Gah, I work with some idiots. That’s enough to drive me nuts, so I can understand your pain if you’re getting garbage from all of the above sources. :eek:
But you don’t have the glory that is Microsoft Outlook 2000?!!? But, but, but what do you do without HTML email? And wallpaper? And full-color, multi-font sig files? (Yeah, I have to use Outlook at work. I use plain-text only, or at most rich-text on occasion. Can anyone tell me how to turn off incoming formats? Please, please, pretty please?)

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT EMAIL YOU WILL EVER RECEIVE!!!
You could make up to $1500.00 per week at home stuffing envelopes!
Yeah? Stuff 'em yourself, then.
Seriously, I had my boss’ boss’ boss’ assistant (she works for someone higher up than me, but she IS NOT OVER ME in rank, experience, or education) send me an email once about a task that needed doing with the subject line reading “THIS NEEDS YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.” Just like that. I mean, come on. I would have been really truly pissed off if it hadn’t been so funny.
The amusing part it, her boss is a wonderful easygoing collegial guy. He doesn’t stand on ceremony, and treats us as his colleagues instead of peons. He’s easy to joke with, he’s always deferential when he asks for something, and apologizes if it’s short notice or has to take precedence over my usual tasks. Because of that, I am delighted to do what he asks. I think that’s why her bossy histrionics were so funny.
She’s damn lucky I didn’t delete it automatically.
Yeah, but I make half that much sitting on my ass occarsionally doing work at my job. It seessmses as if it would be really too hard to stuff envelopes, since I’ve done it before and it sucked ass hardrds. wheressasss I can go to work, do cool virologyys stuff and get paid and surf the stright agdope mesasage pards… err stright drop mesage… message boards.
Ok, It was a kick ass evening.
A few friends over, goood cajun food ggood drinks and good times and mesa little drunkssafasss…
