Is this a virus too? It's from me with my name to me with my name or some kind of spam in the subject line.

I know I haven't sent me any spam. LOL Spaming myself would be dumb.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

To make yourself feel important? :confused: :p


I used to get emails from "myself" too. It's annoying. :rolleyes:

Guess I"m going to have to block me as junk mail. Gotta tell Hotmail not to send me any mail from myself to myself. I must have two personalities. One trying to contact the other one. LOL

I have a pen pal and it is me. :eek: :eek:

Sounds like, to me, you have a split personality! Obviously your 'otherside' is doing this to aggrevate you. LOL j/k :D

Its a form of spoofing, I think...

I wouldn't block myself as junkmail because you do get certain emails that you signup for like a contest, survey, or greeting cards sometimes from you addie. Why they do that, I dunno... but thats why I don't put myself in the junk mail.. :p Bet that sounds kinda weird! LOL

But I never open those since they look so stupid. I've never written myself a letter and I'm not about to send myself an email. My hubby sends himself emails all the time from his office though. Just some things he wants to keep at home. But this is my hotmail. My sign-up, contest mail.
