Also, it is possible that it's not actually the webmaster of the horse site
that is grabbing your email, but some form of "spyware" that may have been
secretly installed on your computer and is running in the background.  You'd
be amazed how much of this is out there.

A great program I've found that searches your registry for "questionable"
programs that may be spyware is "Ad-Aware."
