Thank You RosalieAnn. I came in Wednesday night and had 77 new e-mail. 90%
of them were spam. I was not aware of this practice by Yahoo.

Yahoo has done something else really sneaky. They have automatically
changed your preferences for marketing information (spam). I got
this from 2 other Yahoo lists that I am on.
"As you may or may not know, Yahoo (the provider of this list/group
service)recently underwent some server changes (or so they say).
REGRETTABLY they also took this opportunity to SUBSCRIBE everyone to
their marketing & spam emails and mailings. You may have noticed an
increase in spam.
"Herewith a step-by-step how to change this back to receive no
emails/mail from Yahoo:
"1) Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iris-talk
"2) At the top right-hand-side of the screen is a link to: "Account
Info"
"3) You will have to "Sign In" using your ID and password.
"4) Click on "Edit Your Marketing Preferences", and change all the
items to what you want.
"5) Also check to see if they -Yahoo- haven't added anything under
your address, or changed anything else."
