Fed up with chain e-mails

My gripe is they way some people abuse email at work and send through this garbage.  It kills me when I get email forwards from people saying, "watch out for..." and lists some urban legend to watch out for.  Do these people have just tons of time on their hands or what?  And how hard is it to check on www.snopes.com to see if it is true or not?

I made the mistake of telling this person at work (who has a very bad habit of sending everyone this kind of junk mail) that what she sent me was just a rumour, and she should check her facts first.  The stuff sure hit the fan then and she went off on one!

On top it all, this email was sent throughout the entire company. Somehow or other I turned out to be the bad guy in the whole situation!  I'm really at a loss for words here.  I'm the one getting trash and when I say something about it, I get crucified.

So my question to all of you is, next time I get some sappy friendship email or a "If you love God send this to 8 people" email from her, do I ask her to stop forwarding this junk email, or just take it to the boss and let him deal with her?
