    Thanks for the choice. Although those titles are useless. I've spent my life memorising obscure words and I only open e-mails with obscure words in the title or extinct languages. The only thing that is free and worth having is some uneaten chips in a service station.

    NONE OF THE ABOVE!

    I immediately delete ALL email with any of these subject lines. They are invariably spam and frequently lead to malware.

    Actually, no subject line. I look at the sender and if I don't recognize it, into the trash it goes.

    I never open the "Free gift" ones. There is no such thing. I'm not going to waste my time taking a never-ending survey to get nothing in return. I don't know anyone who has actually "won" anything online.
    I actually open very few links. Been burnt too many times so don't waste your time or mine. I don't pay as much attention to the subject matter as I do the email address it's coming from.

    Actually none of the above, my spam usually picks out anything that is not in my address book. This is on reason I switched to gmail. com and got away from Yahoo.

    I use filters to send email with keywords like "lottery" anywhere in them for instance to trash, I actually have a lot of filters I have implemented over time. I just sort my trash folder by sender once a day and give them a quick scan to make sure I don't delete any legitimate emails. It works pretty good.

    Actually NONE of these subject lines will get me open an email, but I just chose the most crazy one! lol

    The only thing that gets me to open an email is if it's from a friend or from a business associate that I expect email from. Otherwise I generally automatically mark them for delete! Too darn many viruses and trojans out there!!

    Maybe.

    Because I already know that:

    I never win at gambling, so "you win" is a lie.

    "Free gift" always continues with "with purchase of $100 worth of other merchandise or services, or wading through 1000 on-line offers." Not worth a Continental.

    "I'm young and single" is never aimed at me unless that person sought me out on other grounds.
