Is there a word for those forwarded emails that go around email lists?
You know the ones - they can be political, religious, spiritual, urban legends, virus hoaxes, etc. Is there one word that means that and only that? I think most people think of "advertisement" when they see "spam" so I'm wondering if there's another word.

2. Oooh
Chain letters are forwarded emails too - dunno if that encompasses all of them but I need that on my list anyway!

I'm writing rules about an email list . . . LOL. I *hate* those forwarded emails and I don't want them on the list.
