i've had similar experiences on my Mac OS X in the past week
and i'm not gonna go into detail, but if anyones had weird mail
from ninjatune... i didnt send it and we're looking into it.
a few other housekeeping things i learned for macs...
deleting and trashing mail doesnt mean its off the hardrive.
you gotta go into the attachments folder and delete from there
too. then you have to empty the trash on the desktop.
i use the delete button more than the open to read the mail
button these days.
