The few chain emails I recieve these days, I usually run through snopes. Then I go through all the emails that were included, and if there are multiple forwards, I'll go through and assimilate all of those as well. Then email to all what a moron everyone is. It's cost my wife a few friends, but I've gotten plenty of enjoyment out of it.
At any rate, when it comes to forwarded/chain emails, snopes.com has usually done most of the legwork.
