    Warning: More SPAM Email - A Quick In-Box Check

    Guys. Once again it has happened!

    Today I got MORE SPAM from MYSELF!! Others have also reported mail from "ME".

    The tricky thing is that the titles sometimes look reasonable, but the general rule is to CHECK FIRST BEFORE OPENING.
    (And the follow-up rule is: If in doubt, delete it!!)

    The following PIC shows a technique for checking the sender's email address WITHOUT OPENING the
    email itself... (This is for "webmail" services like Yahoo and Optus Webmail. G-Mail not tested, so somebody can.)

    You simply hover the mouse over the Sender's name in the In-Box. If it is NOT from someone you know then
    you can delete it straightaway. (See picture below.)

    Hover mouse over Sender's name...
