Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I do manually munge those spams which have 
embedded personal info in the body or my full name in the To: or CC: In 
this case I did not munge anything manually it was sent as is. I know 
that there are things in the body which link back to me but I'm not 
savvy enough to know what those entries might be. I'm no programmer but 
IMO munging names in the To: or CC: would not be that difficult. Just a 
thought.
