Really graphic photos with blood and guts!! I think the sender should have posted a warning about how graphic it was going to be, and I wish there was some way to open the e-mail without having that pop up right in my face. At least I was able to warn the others in my branch of what to expect, and a few have decided that they didn't need to see those pictures.
Originally Posted By debtee I do agree about emails. I have been sent some really yucky ones with no warnings attached.

I deleted it straight away as I'm not going to be part of sending that sort of thing on. If I was going to send on something graphic, I always put a warning on first. Sorry you had to see that but at least you were able to warn some others and save them the gory details SGV.

Originally Posted By thenurmis Have to say what would be the point, other than to shock. If by chance the photo showed some major design flaw, that needed to be addressed in pending designs, and it ( the photo) was the very best way to do that, then , with disclaimer, it maybe concedered acceptable, how ever most of these e-photo's sent out are just freak show fodder, I am learning to really distrust the internet.

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight I agree Schmitty, I do NOT like to open a GOREY Email at all. Luckily for me ,those who know me don't send me that kind of stuff anyways. I just can't stomache it ..Urp!

Originally Posted By Lady Starlight apparently, I have a "manhood" as well and am having problems with it. I get the same spam.
Originally Posted By avromark Myself I go to the grocery store to get spam, perhaps you should try the same. Did you report who sent the e-mail?
Originally Posted By avromark Well I meant if it was someone internal or from another department. But if it was anon. then there isn't much he could do I guess. I know he could send Mr Nurmis after them!

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins I'm sorry you had to go through that, Schmitty. The pictures sound disturbing and whoever sent them must have had malevolent intentions.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling That's just awful, Schmitty. I'm sorry that sender ambushed you like that. I hope you blocked their address. That's just sick.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I haven't seen that one, but I did get one that had some bear photos. What the sender didn't realize (they later sent an apology) was the last couple pics were of a bear mauling a man (who CLEARLY didn't survive). YUCK!
