I received the "Obama is a Radical Muslim" letter (which now includes a statement that "Snopes.com verifies that this letter is true") today, from a co-worker whose company I enjoy but whose views are often counter to my own. Alas, I took the bait, and responded to the full list that they should loook at the Snopes.com article they were citing, as it debunked the letter.

The sender responded that they sent it because they believed it.

Other co-workers reminded me that I shouldn't discuss politics in company e-mail.

Others have made excellent recommendations, worth pursuing.

My co-workers told me what they do, and I recommend it as an alternative: delete (without reading) anything from this person that looks like it will be political. Just let it go.
