E-mail spam opens campaign season |
 |
First, glossy political hit pieces were stuffed in mail boxes. Then came programmed pre-recorded phone messages from candidates at all hours of the day. Now, Californians — and voters across America — may face a new barrage of unwanted political appeals: campaign e-mails invading in-boxes alongside spam for porn sites and pyramid schemes. The newest front in the state's political wars was opened last month by Secretary of State Bill Jones, who broke a political taboo in California by sending out more than a million spam e-mail pleas for votes in his failed bid for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. ... »

Some AOL users lose e-mail temporarily |
|
An upgrade to America Online's e-mail system caused a small percentage of AOL users to temporarily lose access to their e-mail from remote locations on Tuesday and Wednesday. The problem affected "a very small percentage" of users who tried to gain access to their e-mail from the aol.com Web site, said spokesman Nicholas Graham. Normally, AOL customers access their e-mail accounts through AOL's internal network. When customers don't have access to their regular AOL accounts, though, they can also send and retrieve e-mail from any computer linked to the Internet through the aol.com Web site. ... »

Tax on e-mail? Long-running hoax endures |
|
Years after an alarming e-mail began circulating on the Internet urging readers to rise up against Bill 602P, there are still people concerned that they may be charged for online chatting. The e-mail warns people that House Bill 602P will levy a five-cent surcharge on every e-mail sent. The e-mail goes on to say that the bill is sponsored by Congressman Tony Schnell, and the funds would go to the U.S. Post office, which of course has nothing to do with delivering e-mail. ... »

Millions of free e-mailers soon may pay fees |

Portal giant Terra Lycos also is considering charging. Their reasoning: Customers may grumble about paying for online content.

Gov. Bush campaign gets McBride e-mail list, solicits supporters |
|
Campaign officials for Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Bill McBride have accused Gov. Jeb Bush's campaign of sending unsolicited mass e-mails to McBride's potential supporters and donors, asking for their support. Bush's campaign obtained the list of e-mail addresses after a McBride campaign worker inadvertently e-mailed supporters without hiding the names and e-mail addresses of other recipients. Someone who received it then sent it to the Bush campaign. ``They e-mailed our e-mail list,'' said Robin Rorapaugh, McBride's campaign manager. ``They spammed these people.'' ... »

E-mail speed fanatics finally slowing down |
|
Electronic mail's immediacy is its strongest point. While the send-and-receive cycle on a physical letter can take weeks, e-mail allows you to accomplish a year's worth of communication before lunchtime. This is perfect for people who hate wasting time, along with the interminable wait imposed on those who play within post-office rules. E-mail rules were quite different, actually requiring this immediate response. An answer to a letter through the post office could arrive three weeks from the time it was mailed and you'd think no less of the correspondent. It would be twice that time before he would be considered rude. ... »
