Silly me... I thought they INVENTED the addys they used! :o

That was just creepy, seeing my own address... and it's not one that I normally give out a lot, which makes it twice as weird. And if you're going to steal somebody's address, it just seems bizarre to send the "victim" a copy!

You really think Excite will be smart enough to figure out I didn't do this? Things have gotten so automated, I'm afraid if they receive a complaint, they won't look at it very carefully and just dump my account. (Not that I don't have a dozen other addys... but I do have some subscriptions going there that would be a pain in the *** to change.)

Do you think it's safe to report it to the source host in the email header?

Thanks for the "been-there"... I was getting a little freaked out!
