I noticed that I supposedly sent the message to majordomo at mylist.net 
with a subject of test. This seems to be the embedded message that I 
supposedly sent with a date time stamp of 6/9/2008 at 20:59:28 using M$ 
Outlook. I don't think so as I use Thunderbird as my client which does 
not contain any messages sent at that time in my Sent Mail folder. I was 
playing around with different OS's on Virtualbox, but I don't usually 
use them for viewing email. Maybe I should forward it to Charter to 
their fraudulent mail unit.?
