[no subject]

What I'd suggest, trite though this advice may be, is the following:

1. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever click on links in spam messages.

2. If a message arrives in your inbox with no subject or with a subject of 
"Hi," "Hello," "Unknown," or some other very generic subject, be very 
suspicious. If all it contains is a link, possibly with something generic 
like "Check this out!" or "This is great!" or something of the like, it's 
almost certain to be spam.

3. If you have a Yahoo account or, for that matter, any other popular Email 
account like Gmail, Hotmail, etc., insure your password is strong, and 
hopefully impossible to guess except by a brute force attack. Also insure 
all computers from which you access your account are free of spyware, 
viruses, trojans, and all other malware. Remember, it only takes one use of 
your account from one infected computer to give unauthorized persons access 
to that account and possibly many other relevant things. If you discover 
your computer had malware or you've used someone else's computer that was 
infected, change your passwords immediately!

It appears that someone accessed my yahoo account and sent out some spam to 
people I'd emailed in the last while. It went out about 5:57 this morning. 
Strangely last night was about the first time I'd shut down this computer in 
about 2 years. My apologies to anyone that got sent spam under my name.
