I enjoy INTERNET security banter (not as much as golf carts but
). I may not be understanding what you mean, so I will try to clarify what I meant.
As an example if I have a Comcast email account and I log into Comcast to get my messages. I see I have 10 email messages. I see I have a message from my Dad with the subject,
check this out.
I see the sender in Comcast inbox is
AJs Dad, I hold my mouse over AJs Dad and it shows the sender email address as
aj_dad@comcast.net.
It sure looks like it came from dad. My point is all of that information can be made up, it could have come from anyone and anywhere in the world.
