I always send a copy of such messages to (a) my ISP's junk mail reporting service, (b) FTC, and (c) the original sender's e-mail domain. Unfortunately, keep in mind addresses are often falsified, so even though it may appear to be from a Yahoo account, it might actually not be. The FTC will investigate the headers and find out who to contact. Please remember that you need to forward the message with the full headers. These can be seen by going to View -> Source. You can forward a message with the full headers by either (a) going to View -> Source, selecting all, copying into a message addressed to the FTC, and sending, or (b) using the "Forward with Full Headers" AppleScript. <http://www.avernus.com/%7ephil/OEFilez/Forward_With_All_Headers.hqx> If you are sure the junk mail is originating from Yahoo messages, check out the Yahoo site for instructions on who to notify. <http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/spam/spam-04.html> -- Mickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) PowerPoint FAQ featuring PowerPoint:mac: <http://www.pptfaq.com/> The Entourage Help Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To search the archives: <http://athena.doe.com> Unofficial Outlook Express Page: <http://www.macemail.com/oe/>
