[Scan-DC] Spam From Yahoo

Wed, 05 Jun 2002 11:36:03 -0400

     You are correct.  Those @#$@#$@ at Yahoo had reset ALL of my email
preferences to "YES" for receiving whatever.  Also, be advised that there are
"postal mailing" and "telephone" blocks that also require checking if you don't
want to receive anything from them by those modes.
Thanks.
