Harvey,

Yes. I see that now. It was clearly wrong what they did though. They
directed it ALL to my Earthlink account! Why didn't they direct it to my
Yahoo mail account??? I felt violated and have cancelled my account. I'm
also considering sending a note the the FTC as it has severely compromised
my earthlink account with junk It will take months before my email is
straightened out. (sic)

Ok. We can kill this thread now.
