I checked my Yahoo account this morning and noticed that I had an unusually large amount of spam. When I checked it I found that I had 38 messages all informing me that I could get a Nintendo WII or a PS3 for free. That's a new record for me receiving the same message at the same time.
I wonder if they came from different spam bots or do we have a "rogue" bot out there doing it's own thing. BTW, if anyone knows how I can check the email headers on yahoo let me know. That will answer my question.

Hi,
For header checking in yahoo mail:
Open mail and click "full headers" link on lower right corner of the page.
Thanks for the tip. I guess it pays to look at the WHOLE page.
