We all get these but have you ever viewed the Source Code? There's about 30,000 characters in some of them and most of it is encripted code and NOT the actual email. So... what are these emails really about? I wonder if these 30,000 characters are some sort of malware. Is this theory a possibility?

If not why could they not just make the HTML plain and simple (and concise). Something doesn't smell right here. Anyone else ever viewed the source code on one of the Forwards?

a lot of it is meta data gathered on its trip though each router on its way to you... it gets routed through multiple servers on purpose to hide its origin.
as always be carefull what you open and you shouldnt have much in the way of issues as viruses still have to be physically run before they can do there damage.(so dont click on any tabs or links in suspect emails and dont open attachments as they can infect 3rd party apps like adobe reader very easily.
