The other thing you can do is to use any search engine and type in a few of the key words from the message, along with the word <hoax>. Try to use key words which are less common if there's a person's name or a place mentioned in the message,you can search the full name, i quotes (putting anything in quotes causes the search engine to search for the entire phrase, not both words individually) Hilary Henkin Atlanta, Georgia

Thanks, Hilary. I love this list. It's got so many helpful folks like you.
