I attached the full message with line numbers added to help discussion, and with private parts replaced with "[private]".  You are referring to line 31, not line 7, right?  I don't see anything there saying/implying the "from" is reasonable.

You're referring to line 33, right?
I don't understand what you mean by "line and loop".

The main thing troubling me is that the message claims to come from a gmail address, but it's sent from Yahoo Mail.  How is that possible?

thanks,
Bill.

At a quick glance the email itself probably flowed from a yahoo sender to your gmail account. This portion of the bottom of the message bothers me:
href="https://go.onelink.me....

You erased one of the more important clues for legitimacy. Do the "Reply-To:" and "From:" headers make sense when considered together?

I note that "anyone" (or any sufficiently clever robot) can create a yahoo account and send at least a few emails. So if the email was unexpected and/or from somebody you do not know it is right to question it. Does the "From:" make sense considering the contents. There is no way I can tell. You even blanked the subject. If it was a "your bank account has been compromised" email sent through Yahoo, why are you asking here about legitimacy of such a monstrosity? And if there is ANY question about the email and it is asking you to forward money "to your boss vacationing in Mexico" faghedaboudit. Use some thinking. And if you must worry about this send email back, gritting your teeth over the spamload this will unleash to a known "good" address, and ask for some information only you and your boss know. Establish identity beyond question before sacrificing money.

It's not paranoia when "they" really are out to get you but it's not personal, they will take any sucker they can get. It's prudence that says email is not to be trusted beyond the value you stand to lose by trusting it.
