It could happen to you. Your aunt/father/cousin/grandmother wants to see some pictures, and you say, "I could e-mail them to you." without even thinking. "If you have an e-mail address, that is." you quickly add.
Oh, they "do e-mail" alright. You take it and send them the photos, or recipe, or whatever. Maybe you even add the address to your address book. You forget about it.
Five days later, terror strikes.
Your inbox contains an e-mail with the subject
[FW: Fwd: Worth a look........."Remember"]

The next day:
