Noticing some email providers allow you to enter various macro-sized coding in the senders email address area - meaning that when the receiver finds and opens this email, his mailbox gets influxed by the dubious wormed coding that he himself cannot see.
Coding that is not sensed by the email recepients email checker.
Mainstream email, spam checkers look chiefly into the email itself but not the actual addressing.
Is there a program that prevents email from being opened due to its email address being bogus? ie generated by a machine and not by hand?
Email providers usually have a space to allow deletions of emails before opening them. Yahoo has this feature..though not in the new version. If an email arrives in the mailbox you have no choice but to open it..yet the bogus macro-code is in the email header..so when you open it..it releases the code to run all without you knowing it. This is why I use the old version of yahoo and I can delete messages before they do damage.
How to scan email addresses before opening an incoming email?
I use Yahoo Mail Beta. You can delete emails without opening them, by clicking on the box to the left, next to the message(s) you want to delete, to select the message(s). Then click on the word Delete at the top of the page. If you get a message asking for confirmation that you want to delete the message, click on Yes, or OK. The message will then go to your Trash Bin, where you can follow the same procedure to permanently delete the message without opening it. If you delete messages from your Spam or Bulk Folder, they are deleted completely, permanently.
