What I do depends on who it came from. I either:
a) If email is from a person not related to my current employment, I will reply to all with a snopes link and further explain to them about dumb e-mails. As well, I send a threat that if I receive one more of these e-mails, their e-mail is going to be blocked/blacklisted and I won't get their e-mail. This works quite well as they get the point but there is the odd time that a good friend will have his e-mail blocked. I have a low tolerance for BS/stupidity and someones status does not affect the outcome. The funny part is when they reply to my snopes saying "Why do you have to be so dumb, we're just having fun". Ya sure...
b) If e-mail is from a coworker or person I have contact with regarding work I cannot block them obviously. I do however send the snopes link in a reply to all message. Nothing like embarrassing a sales agent in front of his prospective clients.
