Got a mail today sent from my hotmail acct. back to the same acct. The subject was Brain Teasers. First time I've ever seen this. Anyway I can check the header while at the hotmail site as I can't find the option. I'm pretty sure I'm clean. Thanks

WOW, talk about lonely, that has to take the prize.

Seriously, it's probably not from you, someone has probably spoofed your email address. If you could see the header you could tell for sure, but it's a pretty common practice.

Actually it could be true. I sent my dad an email once and Google bounced it back marking it as spam.

He did say he had not seen the email before. Unless he really is losing it, then he probably didn't send it...hehe

Thanks for the help guys. :P Ya, it's spoofed as the contact info has java scripts associated. It's an online pharmacy using an Ancestry.com e-mail page and looks like ancestry is running the ad. Now why would a lonely guy buy Viagra? :whistle
