Hello Don,
There is a site that verifies or dismisses all the urban
legends, of which the "e-mail surcharge" is just one of
hundreds. I highly recommend the site because if used as a
reference, it stops most of these "scare-mails" by sending the
facts in a reply to all.
The one you are looking for is:

And I highly recommend anyone who has ever believed any
questionable story to check around this great site:
