I delete 99% of FW; mail
before even opening it, even if it's from people I know. Depends really on the subject line as to if I decide to kill it or not.

I also arrange to have people who send chain letter, including those that are 'OMG it's a virus alert, send this to everybody you know!!!111' killed.

And re you edit: the problems with the combination of cc and 'reply to all' just does not seem to be understood by some people.

I shouldn't be allowed an email account.
I get angry beyond belief when I get mail from someone who has cc-ed my address in with about 80 more.
They may as well give someone who I don't know my doorkeys and tell them to pop into my house and get a cup of tea if they like. No I really won't mind.

It's not everyone elses fault on the list
that the sender hasn't understood the concept of BCC, in the past I have done reply-all with..
"Look at this fucking spastic who hasn't learnt how to bcc. Here is a lesson for them so they look fucking stupid and you if you didn't know about this handy feature. www.cs.rutgers.edu/~watrous/bcc-for-privacy.html "
