they tap into your temp files and use names they find there...it's a way to get you to open potentially virus infected mail because you think it's something of relevance to you...

man, i havent posted in a while.
Yahoo might have the Netsky (sp?) virus. their server might be infected. If it is infected it just sends out a bunch of emails to random people using random people's accounts. we have that problem here at George Mason University. just delete those messages.

LoL, Netsky? You mean... Skynet! Judgement Day is at hand... OT, I usually just look at the e-mails I actually know what it is first, then i just delete the rest. I take no chances of opening an e-mail and getting a virus.

thats not good....I get legit emails all the damn time in there,so I always have to check the subject line and compare to the sender...Hell,recently all the Zilvia "someone has replied to post..." show up my my bulk mail...I dunno why ? PM notification from zilvia used to be the only thing that went into bulk(from zilvia) and now it all does....whatever
