MSN: Hotmail 'forwarding' message a hoax
Talkback I wish people would stop forwarding these e-mails. What's sad is some people who do this have been online users for years and should know better. There is no way of forwarding these e-mails and having them tracked to save your account.

This text message will self-destruct
Talkback I wonder if use of this sort of technology could lead to trouble with the anti-terror laws? Sounds like a perfect technology for criminal use! And if it doesn't really self destruct leaving no trace, what was the point in using it at all?
