Thanks to everyone offering explanations. I guess I have just been lucky to
not have been exposed to this trash before. I trashed everything so no way
to check it out along the lines suggested. Along the lines of let the
punishment fit the crime I suppose it is possible to ferret out the
originators address and send them a zillion junk mails till their inbox
overflows.
I have a good friend who is a "white hat hacker" or some such. He has
received specialized training in hacking so he can explore security
loopholes and related issues in computer systems. Maybe I should buy him a
steak dinner in trade for him "messing with" the sender of this junk should
it repeat.
Glorious naïveté, how did I last this long without this sort of thing ever
happening before? Sure I get a few millionaire fund transfer offers a month
but that has been about it.
Again, thanks for the info guys. Should there be a repeat I will save the
email for analysis.

The plot thickens... I received a solicitation from another (supposed young
lady but who knows) taking candid mostly unclothed selfies in front of a
bathroom mirror. This time not via TT but referencing Craigs list which I
seldom visit (once or twice a year and not lately and not related to
personal adds)
So why me? I'm 70, only slightly over weight, relatively heavily invested in
ham radio, and soon to celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary.
Sorry guys, what was I thinking? I trashed the mails (including pix) so no
chance to investigate and report. Darn!
I did send a copy to the abuse address at my ISP and got no response.
This was almost as much fun as doing a Google on Phillystran or Phillystran
guys the aramid fiber guying material. Since hits are said to be in order
of applicability I didn't read the synopsis and just clicked on the first or
one of the first hits. It was a male homosexual site with plenty of
disgusting pix on the first page.
Maybe I misspelled it or ... Anyway when I go for Phillystran now I get the
non-conductive guy material not Guy material.
Bottom line is that as was suggested, TT was probably not hacked but... if
some tart was using TT wouldn't others get solicitations?

True. I hadn't thought of it in that light. Every thing is relative.

;-) Probably just a hopeful trying to make a buck. Apparently not
knowing the average ham demographic. Poor, old, and over weight.
