Good evening,

They match.

>Does the "From:" make sense considering the contents.

Yes. Likewise the subject. But the info in those parts could have been obtained from social networking sites.

(responding to everyone)

The message was personal (nothing about money), which is why the subject and body were blanked. This was the first I had seen the "From" address from this particular sender, which is a second thing that made me uncomfortable.

The sender rarely answers the phone. But this time, the sender did return my call. The message was genuine; it was not a spoof, the sender was not hacked. The sender thought he/she sent the message from a yahoo address that I've known for a long time; he/she was surprised when I said the message came from a gmail address that I had never seen before. The rules that y'all mentioned do make sense, but this turned out to be an exception. I also did not know that yahoo had ways for people to send messages and have them come from a gmail from address.

I've tagged this thread SOLVED. Still, what is the "line and loop, otherwise stop, it's spam." that Tony mentioned?

Thank-you everyone.  Have a good weekend.
Bill.
