! I have seen a "friendly" hack my gmail. so I am not sure what gina is trying to explain on Lifehacker...

So this means if the sent email as spoofed as to to be mine, this still only lands in my inbox.. take a look at the screen scrap below

The actual content of the email looks like this and I do not have the same symptoms as what is deceibed on lifehacker. that is no spam in my sent items!!

and of course the "Friendly" is smart and sent me for a Bill Gates memo :)-
