i received an e-mail that shows me a picture of a burned child. Tne e-mail says that if i forward this mail, money will be donated to the child`s parents. is that true?

No. It's a scam. There are a lot of urban legends and phishing scams out there that use that try to trick people to give money or continue spreading the word about a forward which wastes network bandwidth and people's time.\n\nWhen you get one check against snopes if the story sounds flawed. Check Symantec for things such as viruses and phishing scams.

i'm not sure why you would want to print out these emails... but if you really think that you're doing justice to yourself or the greater good, then it might be a good idea. would these emails hold up in court, probably. and if need be, send these emails to yourself via certified mail, that way the court will know the time and date these emails were printed (and not created during the trail.)

No. That is a hoax. Yahoo doesn't operate through forwarded e-mails; it can send you an e-mail itself. Check out the sources below.

NO NO NO!  Do not send any cash or information to them, please!  This is a classic e-mail scam, and they will steal your money!

Sign up for a free Spamcop.net account and report the email.\n\nYou see, in the underlying stuff (headers) it reports where the email came from. SpamCop reports it to the relevant Internet Service Provider (ISP) and they will follow it back, especially with email cons.\n\nI haven't been a victim myself, but I know a little more than the average user about them. Make whoever sent the email pay.

My fiance had an e-mail from this person too, he is on hotmail.  Somehow it was addressed to him, she was going on about what has been happening and said she was sorry for happened to his Mum.  We haven't a clue who she is and nothing has happened to his Mum.  This woman must have spammed all of hotmail or something.\n\nhttp://www.jabbasworld.net/viewtopic.php?p=608220\n\nThis bloke got an e-mail from the same person with a Scam in it.  Take the action we did last night, report it as Spam!

this is a part of a real conversation, they are talking about mails that end with "Send these message to 15 people and you will have all your dreams come true" , or "Don't forward it and you'll have bad luck" .. etc.\n\nEd says (10:17 AM):\nsome people actually benefit from this \ni was one of them \n \nEd says (10:18 AM):\ni was working with a friend trying to market something , we wanted to launch email campaign, so to gather as many valid emails as we could we sent one of those letters saying all your wishes will come true if you send this to as many people as you can including the sender \n \nso imagine how many emails we got in a week \n \nEd says (10:21 AM):\nand people then wonder how they get spam \n \nand the best thing is that this can get you customized lists \n \nexample if you want Christians masalan , send something religious, you will get list of Christians emails,\n\nEd says (10:22 AM):\nif you want girls send something about girls, cosmetics,...\nif you want football fans,...\n \nvery effective people pay 1000s to get such lists \nand i got it for free and all valid emails \n\ni think that may answer your question, these mails have no relation with bad or good luck, it's a matter of business

What is the point you are making in doing such a thing.  These letters cost money, time and effort.  It is a pointless exercise.  Do something useful instead like giving the cost of the postage to some worthwhile charity.

don't bother about it, just ignore it.\n           first thing no responsible email provider will close ur account without genuine reason,and secondly why would yahoo ask u forward the mail???If they want they can send mail to any yahoo account themselves,they don't require ur help[even the mail ids in ur mail box are stored on yahoo servers]

it sounds like someone is forwarding emails to you.\n\nother than that, I don't understand what you're saying.  there seems to be a question there, but I don't know what it is.

Ya if you go into account settings next to where the picture is on the setup page (not what everyone else will see) there is an option that will cancel the account. You'll get an e-mail that confirms the cancelation. As for the online thing, your internet server should give you that option, but im not sure about that one, im only 14 myself!

If it is your email account that you are asking about...\n\nJust send it as an attachment to your own email address..\n\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/

I get similar e-mails all the time.  The only thing I know to do is to forward them to the below address.  Honestly, I don't know if it does any good, but that's what I have read.

I am shocked to read this question... and not in a position to comment... I request you please do not do it... donation does not mean charging money…I hope you would take it in a positive way...

Thats almost certainly a scam. Its a common scam where people say "oh your reletive has left you lots of money, please send some money to cover xyz costs or give us your bank details"\n\nNever give out your personal details from unsolicited emails like that. Just delete it.
