Has anybody else noticed this,
http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/02/07/15/2039227.shtml?tid=153
Apparently, Yahoo, attempting to stop "cross-site scripting attacks"
initiated using Javascript, Java and other malicious bits of code people
embed into HTML email, have started replacing words in emails. 'Mocha'
(original name of Java) becomes 'expresso', 'javascript' becomes
'java-script' (not bad), and 'eval' becomes 'review' This wouldn't be too
bad, except that it apparently happens even when the "words" are *inside*
other words. So 'midaeval' becomes 'midireview'! As one commenter on /.
said, why not just replacing things inside <script> or <applet> tags?
Sheesh! Anybody here have yahoo accounts?
