I don't really like yahoo much anymore but they have beefed up filters lately. Only 1-2 get passed the filters a day now.

I hate the Sneaky messages the most. Its most time the simple crap like "hey mike!" and its from someone I knew in the past. Most of my emails are from people I know from games, forums, chatrooms so I get alot of legit "remember me?" subject lines and usually end up opening a few spams with similar names.

I'm not too worried about having my name in the from line because its spam 101% of time time and never gets passed my filters..
