Good job Dave! You are a model forwarder. Others need to follow your good habits. I salute you!

Yes, I ALWAYS use Bcc! In addition I have AVG scanning e-mails in and out bound, as well as a couple other programs looking at items. I know that’s no guarantee, but it helps keep things “clean”. I also delete all the other e-mail addresses after hitting forward. I hate getting an e-mail with 40,000 other folks addresses on it. I work on several friends computers and encourage them to not forward addresses also.

Happens all the time. By movie, I mean those short .wmv files. Even a 2 minute video can mean a 10 or more megabyte file.

Why would anyone try to send a movie to their entire mailbox? It would look like spam to me too

Thanks for feedback. I hope you are at least using BCC, though.

Great solution. Now can you go ahead and see that everybody else on the planet has to pick no more than 5 people to email at a time. That would be GREAT. Thanks!

Not sure about G-mail, but I have a POP/Outlook MSN account through Qwest and was having a similar problem although I was not sending mail to EVERYONE in my contacts, but a large number of them. Got an error message and called them up. They explained that they had a limit of e-mails that could be sent in a day and if you sent even 1 E-mail with multiple addresses, they add those together and count them ALL. After talking with the rep and assuring him that I was NOT a spammer, they increased my limit, almost double. No problems since.
