Subject: another product affected by recent MS IE '@' patch

In Germany, and maybe in other parts of the world, some providers
are attracting customers by announcing webpage packages where email
address == web address. so, john@....de is the email, and
john@....de is the website, while jane@....de may be the website of
john's wife.

I hope this has not been reported yet, but in the light of the
recently announced MS IE patch to guard against the URL obfuscation
attacks (which is a typical MS fix and absolutely ridiculous), these
providers may now renew their product portfolio. Not like M$
cares...

invalid/expired pgp subkeys? use subkeys.pgp.net as keyserver!

last year, out in california, at a pc users group, there was a demo of
smart speech recognition software. before the demonstrator could begin
his demo, a voice called out from the audience: "format c, return.
yes, return." a short demo it was.
