Not understanding risks, she joins a seniors mail list? Someone she corresponds with blasts an email to a bunch of folks leaving all addresses exposed, and one of the addressees does some action which exposes the email to a spammer's harvesting process? Or more explicitly, someone she knows copies her in a post to a mailing list which is being harvested. More I'm sure. The AOL address my wife uses was never used for anything but family oriented email and never part of a list which was posted to from that address. Yet she receives an inordinate amount of filthy and body alteration spam. Since this is a very old AOL address and was simply based on name and initials, I suspect one of the first two approaches I listed above. The point being that it isn't difficult to end up in the spammer's email address lists. Dave Morris
