Almost... the source site (http://playtoday17e.com/) is one of 
those gimmicks that ask you to enter your Yahoo/AOL/Hotmail 
information (together with the password) and then read your 
addressbook spamming all entries therein - changing the From 
header.

A quick glance at the headers doesn't show an obvious way to 
avoid such incidences unless I'm missing something.
