As an additional cause for finger-pointing and public humiliation, these people didn't use a "mailto:" link for their e-mail
addresses. Oh no, they used links in the form: http: //us.fnnn.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose?To=idiot@unfortunate_employer.com
Anyone allowing HTML-formatted e-mail to their in-box who simply clicks on the link ends up at a page that reads "Your login
session has expired."

There. I hope this is sufficiently embarrassing that these folks recognize themselves and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER spam anyone
again.
[Evil grin.]
So the moral for all you nice readers who run legitimate e-mail lists is that you should not make assumptions about where
your readers are writing from. When you provide removal instructions, be sure that they will work even if the senders are
responding from an e-mail address other than the one to which you sent the original message.
And may there be a pox on spammers throughout the universe.
