  3. Re:Delete the Javascript in your reply on New E-Mail Vulnerability - Trust Your Neighbor? · · Score: 1
    Can't you protect yourself by just deleting the Javascript in your reply?

    I was wondering this as well. I use Outlook. I can't find any way to view the HTML source of an email message. So how can I tell if a message someone sends me has the JavaScript code in question? And even if I can see that it's there, how can I edit it out?

    I tend to change the format of all my replies and forwards to plain text. But sometimes it is helpful to use different fonts and colors if a message has replies by many different people - it's easier to see who said what that way.

  4. Re:Mozilla is good... on Mozilla Will Be Netscape 6.0 · · Score: 1
    What netscape/AOL have the advantage on is that they can merge in their existing Communicator source, replacing anything Mozilla does better with the Mozilla versions, but leaving the original Communicator code for stuff Mozilla is currently shaky at intact.

    The main explanation I heard for why Mozilla has taken longer than originally anticipated was that they threw out the Communicator code and started over. So I don't think merging bits and pieces of Mozilla with existing Communicator code is an option. Certainly not an option that could be called an advantage. I would think it would be a development and testing nightmare to try such a thing.

    ...The credit card will be automatically billed $21.95 each month...

    My experience with MSN from a few years ago was that once they start billing you it's very hard to get them to stop. It took me 3 months and the intervention of my credit card company.
