There is no such thing as a cursed e-mail...Curses only come attached to old artifacts. Such as Old Sacrafical daggers...or what ever. The Crystal Skulls are a great examply. Yes the Crystal Skulls are real.

yes some crystal skulls exist

the one ive actually seen and heard most about is not magnetic and does not have a elongated skull

it is an extremely masterfully crafted representation of a human skull, seemingly surpassing the skill/technology of the time period it comes from

and yet i havnt heard of anyone being cursed because of it, the only events ive heard of that can be realistically linked to curses are the titanic sinking (there was an ancient egyptian sarcophagus being shipped on its fateful voyage) and the deaths of the people who dug up tutankhamun (but it could have been a biological agent/disease released when the tomb was opened)

Yes, but it's not the picture you originally put in. All URLs and image locations are changed to avoid stuff like that as well as bots who use your profile to make bulletins to infect others.

They can plant Web bugs in emails to get a list of IPs who viewed it.

The worst ones I've ever seen I get through myspace bulletins. They're really bad because they like to put like, 50 blank lines in the middle of a sentence.

I also occasionally get one that says some little kid is dying, and the make a wish foundation is donating money for every person who reposts the bulletin (implying they have any way of knowing).

Sometimes I just wonder why people even believe/repost chain letters. Its bad enough I have to suffer from craploads of spam mail. (theyre really blocked and are stored in this APPriver spamlab, but I hate seeing 20 pages of it, no I dont really see 20 pages of it but since I'm so inactive on my main e-mail sometimes it hides and as I delete them more keep appearing...stupid e-mail) lol

I hate chain letters.
I get them as YouTube bulletins all the time.
I just delete them and don't repost them.
I don't want my friends on there to get freaked out by it and they're annoying to have.

Your Emails have IP addresses encoded on them. These IP addresses are recorded on a hidden part of the Email. Your IP will be recorded when you send/pass on the email. If someone knows how to extract these numbers, they can know where you live. When Gobbelcoque got banned and his IP was shown in public, I fired up a traceroute and found out where his house is. :devil:

What good is an IP address? It would do you no good as IP traces are only accurate to the state/province, sometimes only to the country, not to mention dynamic IPs.

Its useless, and don't lie about tracing people to their "house" aka Country.

Seriously, my sister made up an email meant to be chained, just to see how many people would react and pass the message on. Anyone can do it. All you need are these three things:
1. an unbelievable yet seemingly believable message that can compell people to pass on the message
2. a threat (or else...)
3. font other than Times New Roman or Arial and of abnormal size and color

optional but frequently used: request for donation money because your mother was injured in a car crash, children of Africa, etc. (whatever your story was)
