One of the things I don't look forward to are those chain mails that say "send this to X people in Y hours, something good will happen to you" or even worse "if you don't sent this to X people in Y hours, something bad is going to happen to you. "
Though most people don't really believe in these things, just to play it safe, they forward these junk mails to friends. This kind of mails remind me of Amway and they send jitters along my spine. I avoid Amway folks like bubonic plague.
For those who feel compelled to forward chain mails, my suggestion is, the moment you sense the nature of this kind of a mail, delete it without reading the content. Then, there will be no question of gathering bad karma!

I would forward the msg back to bloke who sends me. For good measure, I would copy-paste his email address in the BCC: list ... about 15-20 times (hit Ctrl-C-Ctrl-V rapidly till bored) and hit "Send". Once their inbox gets slammed, they get the hint and quit sending you such emails.
I notice that it is the same people who tend to do this. So I set the filter to automatically delete their emails if it sees the subject headline as "Fwd:" or "Fw:".
I also have a silver-bullet email response saved up in case the above strategy doesn't work.
