message FROM a BLANK e-mail address?

Question

I received an e-mail from a BLANK e-mail address. How can someone do that? the date on the e-mail keeps changing and the IP address only showed when I forwarded the message. Once the IP address was traced-the message dissapeared----how can i track who this is?

this message is NOT spam...it has personal info in it. someone that knows me is sending it. BUT it just shows up from a blank email addy...there's nothing there--even when I hit reply-there is nothing in the To: box--i couldnt reply if I wanted to. How is someone doing this? The date changes as well...the first time i looked at it-it said it showed Dec. 3rd--the next time I looked at it--it said Dec. 4th. VERY strange! I just want to know is there any way to track this and how does someone send a message from NO email addy?

Answer 1

don't worry about it, just delete it. NEVER Open them.

To compose clear browsers cashe. to see Mial messeges in Beta or tradional. = In the new Yahoo! Mail, you don’t do this with your browser anymore. Now, just change your character encoding setting right in Yahoo! Mail! Here’s how: In the toolbar, click More Actions and select Set Encodings. From the list that appears, select the encoding that matches the message’s content. Note: Only one character encoding set may be viewed at a time. And in this case, changing your browser’s encoding setting will not work. Or in the old Traditional = Select any email where the header information is displayed, but there is nothing in the "body" of the message where you would expect to find text, etc. Move your mouse to the area of the expected "body" of the message and right-click...on the menu that appears, click on "Encoding"...on the menu that appears, if "Auto Select" has a check mark, leave it as is...if not click "Auto Select"; then this menu will disappear...right click again in the "body" to cause the same menu to display again...then click on "Western European (Windows)"...you should now be able to view the "body" of all messages that you couldn't view before...obviously, if the problem somehow occurs again, do the same procedure described above again. I have no idea how or why these settings get "changed" or "corrupted" after everyday use, but apparently they sometimes do.

Email addresses are easy to spoof, but you didnt really give us much to go on. Are you using webmail or a client like outlook? What do you mean by the "date keeps changing"? Is this multiple emails from the same sender? Also, how was the message traced?

Sorry, need more info...

Wow - I wish something this interesting would happen in my inbox...I only get spam mail from screwy Dutch blogging websites that seem to unblock themselves...
