Most of these the address has been "Spoofed" and the email is NOT sent from the users machine but through the email providers servers.

This has been discussed many times on the LUG list in the past when other listers have had their accounts hijacked and similar emails were sent to the list. Do NOT click on links sent to you or an email list which have no other information about the link. Myrna will probably find a Sent email in her Sent Mail folder on her Yahoo webmail showing that this was sent. It happened to me last year - I can only think it was done through the web.... We've seen this with Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and more recently AOL and MSN accounts. The only way to prevent these emails from going out from your email account is to not have any contacts in the Contact List!
