You may have been invited to join something called B4UParty, with my name in the From line. It was, of course, not from me, but from them; they borrowed my Yahoo address book. For what it's worth, I think it was more a matter of stupid programming than malicious spoofing. If you do join their service, which I have not evaluated, I suggest you do not allow them to use your Yahoo, Hotmail, or whatever addressbook to invite your friends. Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Frank __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
