Subject: Using domain whois information for fun andprofit

I'm not sure. This is an RFC that was last updated in
1985. I'm not sure script injection was an issue back
then. Additionally, I don't believe RFC954 really
gives any specifics about what should be considered
*bad*. Email only supports rich content because the
world let it. Was it supposed to? Is it clearly
defined?

Bad example.

Mail routing programs are supposed to be liberal in
their acceptance of 
body content because there are all kinds of valid uses
of that type of 
content allowable in e-mail.  The same is not the case
for whois 
output.  Whois output is not, by design, supposed to
contain script as 
far as I'm aware.
