Hello Les, I am unsure that you have been hacked as the other mail I've got from another renderosity member (forget the one I mentioned, it's someone else, I mixed up the forenames and nicknames) "used" a different host, not yahoo - well, as long as you use a mail program and do not write eMails directly on the yahoo website. I recommend that you run a virus scan (on your emails as well) and, if this leads to nothing, rund a second scan with a different virus scanner.
But as the sender seem to have used yahoo as a gateway you may want to ask Yahoo about it so that they can look into this.
I had no worms nor virusses for a long, long time until I had to change to a different mail program. To do this I had to convert my mail (formerly I used courier) to be used with the new program (Poco Mail). And this converting was like opening Pandora's box. Everything that was kept locked and save by my mail program was opened and set free. In the end my computer was unusable for a whole week.... This just to tell you that so far nothing bad happened, only the usual problems you can have when communication. No need to feel ashamed! Anyone you know has catched a worm sent by accident by someone who knows this person. As as we know each other... and so on
I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!
And I am not strange, I am Limited Edition!
