I imagine sending out fewer pieces of encrypted (OpenPGP) email gives potential spies fewer samples to work with in trying to decrypt. But encrypting all email could "hide" the important email in the midst of a ton of banal everyday email. Any thoughts? What if we extend the idea - if lots of people on the net are sending encrypted email, is any given individual's privacy more secure because of it?
Is it better to encrypt only important email or to encrypt all email?
Your thoughts are nice and I agree with you. If we all encrypt our data then privacy would increase.
Unfortunately not all people want to learn how to encrypt/decrypt. Even when then learned that most of the information travels on plain text. Like this answer.
For me, I stopped using PGP as nobody wanted to decrypt my emails. So I only use TrueCrypt for my own files, on my computers.

How does spam email actually make money for the spammer?
We all get spam in our inboxes and it is a daily occurance. I am intruigued in how do the spammers actually make money from these emails.
Most of mine gets blocked/side-lined with a spam filter but some does get through to me.
If I don't click on these (like a lot of people I know) then how do these spammers actually make decent money to make it worth their while?

The reality is that they don't make money unless you do click a link and visit their promoted website to make a purchase.
Many internet marketers and some conduct an honest business, they are good people, will purchase a list of qualified leads from a reputable company. These folks got on a list because the raised their hand and said "Yes, I would like to know more"
Not all spam is canned. The average response rate is about 2-4%, so the "spammer" is hoping to get some responses and they usually do.
Reply:I also get lots of spam mail ;).
Well most spam mail is rigged with things called 'Adware' that basically makes the victim be bombarded with advertisements; popups that usually promote the person to buy/or do whatever they're nagging them with.
I don't think that the spammers actually make money unless they were hired by some company to go and make it. If they do, then I would think they would be paid every time someone opens the mail and is stupid enough to do the deed.
But thats what I THINK. No sources. Great question.
Reply:I wouldnt bother with spamming. Its illegal. And you piss people off. There are plenty other methods of making money. If you are interested in email marketing, you may as well buy targeted advertising for your product. You could try ezine solo ads or guaranteed visitors. Just do a search. Lots of these are scams though and wont bring you quality traffic.

Reply:It costs almost nothing to send out say, 100,000 identical spam advertisments. It doesn't take many idiots to buy the crap the spammer is pushing to make a nice profit.
Reply:they actually dont but there are companies give money to those spammers to send their website to alot of people many of them will click on it because they put some attractive slogans like freee or whatever.
Reply:YOU may not click on them, but there are enough stupid people who do that the spammer can make some money. No, they aren't making money off of spamming you, but they don't care because they are off of some other fool. It costs virtually nothing to send millions of spam messages and only takes a few resulting sales to turn you a profit.
Reply:Well, its kinda easy. I used to do this for my site (forum.psychedelicdeli.com). See, they advertise for a certain person, the client, and they use mass e-mailing software to do it. They simply have to pay for the software (they prolly illegally downloaded it) and their ISP (they prolly leech off thir neighboor). They send several thousands of emails a day, and if just one person clicks on it and participates, its profit already.
Its not how can they make profit, its how much profit they can make.
Now heres the easier way i found. Its free, and search engines and site crawlers do the work for you. Just post your site and relevant topics on forums such as these.

Seeing the need of the orphans in Africa, my heart is touched to help them. It will take major interest to make a dent in the great need. There must be a way to email celebrities who care about others. I would like to know how to email them or at least how to get the information to them. If you have the info please let me know. Thank you

How do I email a scanned text or picture?
I am able to scan the picture, but not able to email the picture.
How do I email a scanned text or picture?
Hopefully, one of the below will help you...
Hilite what you want copied by dragging your arrow over it while holding down the left click of your mouse...Go to EDIT above and click on COPY.
then go to where you wanted it pasted...place the cursor(flashing up and down line) in that area...go above to EDIT again and click on PASTE...THAT SHOULD DO IT
Step by step.
There are many ways to do it...This is what I have the most success with..
RIGHT clicking on those items usually pops up a box and gives you the option of where to send it...I send it to the DESKTOP. You will get an icon for it, which you can delete by right clicking on it after you are done.
Go to your email and compose the message. Click on ATTACH located just under you subject line. At least five lines will pop up with the word BROWSE on each one of them. click on BROWSE and when the box comes up place DESKTOP in the upper box. Everything on your desktop will be displayed, which should include those that you sent there. Click on the first one you want and it shud go to the bottom box. When you click on OPEN that should move it to the message you are composing and it will be in the first BROWSER box. Click on ATTACH and that should start the download to attach it to your message. Repeat for anything else you want to attach. Be careful not to download to much ( varies with each recipient) could be anywhere between 5MB and 20MB. good luck

Why is my email slow to open since doing the latest update last week?
Not only is it slow but after a few minutes, it jumps down to the bottom of the screen and I have to double click on it to bring it back up. This is very annoying when I am typing! It can happen more than once while I'm typing and while I reading an email!
Why is my email slow to open since doing the latest update last week?
what was your upgrade? internet explorer 8
with Yahoo!
try to go back to 7 (8 still has a LOT of buggies)
and Yahoo! also had stupid commercials that uploaded 2 at a time
and then exploded open - whether you clicked them or not
all the best
