Even reliable sources get duped by email.

See http://urbanlegends.miningco.com/library/weekly/aa012099.htm for
more information on this particular canard.

My rule of thumb:  If it says

>>please forward this message

then the best thing to do is to delete it immediately.

Don't be a dupe.  Don't forward email that asks to be forwarded.
Stop email pollution.
