I have searched the internet looking for answers to my questions and I am having trouble finding search words to answer my questions.  Here are the questions that I need to answer about email.

1. What are the parts of an email address?

2. What does cc: mean?  What is the difference between the addresses in th cc: field and those in the To: field?

3. What is an attachment?

4. How do you shout in an email message?

5. What is spam?

6. What is an email virus?

7. How can you protect yourself from email viruses?

8. What is an email hoax?

9.  What is the web address of a site that tells the truth about hoaxes?  Vriefly name and describe one hoax.

These are the questions I must find answers for through internet and with the help of any one.  I am not good at searching the web with keywords for finding answers.  Please help me.

sparklingroseangel.........LOL .......I just tried googling most of your questions ......and guess what .......the answers are there.....If I do your homework for you , your not going to learn a whole lot........
The other thing is most of those questions are just referring to common sense ......It's not rocket science your studying .
BTW...I included an example of shouting .....

sparklingroseangel......I Emailed you the referance information you asked for .......however it was returned , with this message .......
"Your message could not be delivered."
"The recipient's computer rejected your e-mail. "
Please verify the recipient's e-mail address and resend.
I can only conclude that either you or someone at that end has filters in place to prevent unwanted E mail.....
or it's your parents just trying to keep you away from any trouble ....

Sorry

dl65.. are you sure you got the parts of the email right?  Did you CC anyone?  Maybe the provider rejected your attachment.  Were you shouting?  Next time don't send spam or you may be reported.  I bet it was blocked because of a virus.  I could go on but I grow weary.

Joleen........   lol.....if google didnt let me down then I got the parts correct.......but I'm having a problem with that cc person ....cant find their address...the attachment thingy .....I really must stop buying those cheap paper clips......The ISP I use wont let me send spam ........only balogna....   Was it a virus........don't think so , I have a bit of a cold and besides I wore my rubber gloves .  But come to think of it ...there was a e- mail from the computer cops .
Who has more fun than people.

I hope people will resist clicking on the link in this spammer's signature, which would lead them to a site offering "search engine optimization". Their command of Enlgish is excellent, as you can tell by their offer of "optimazation for faster ranking".
