The email "from" had been doctored to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] while this address does not exist at hotmail. The Header of the message revealed the actual "reply to" was [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hoping I didn't pass anything along unwittingly through that yahoo account. Please let me know if a variant of this popped up in any of your inboxes and I'll see if I can track anything down. No reply from [EMAIL PROTECTED] yet. Also hope this can just be ignored. Thanks.
