^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I got an interesting email today from Dr. Ogoli Kalibe <ogolikalibe@yahoo=
=2Ecom>. He wants to put $US50 million into my bank account. But wait, th=
at's not the interesting part. Since my account is in French Francs... so=
on to be Euros, I thought that such a dollar amount may look curious. So =
I decided to send a note to Dr. Kalibe expressing my regrets. Imagine my =
surprise when I punched the "respond" button and his part of the message =
was entirely in computer gibberish. So what else is new.
Well, No Problem I thought, and sent my response on its way -- though I a=
dmit I erased some large hunks of the gibberish. Later curiosity got the =
better of me and I went to the "sent" box to see again what this computer=
gibberish could be all about. So, how about this: There in my message w=
as a huge carefully edited selection of MY URLS ... about 4 screens worth=
- it seems that Dr. Kalibe had a need for my bookmarks. So now the good =
doctor knows what I like to read. =
How is this done? I want to be able to do this kind of thing. I think EVE=
RYONE should be able to do this. I took a look at the page source info an=
d I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, except that his text messa=
ge appeared twice. So I went back to the original message and punched the=
"respond" button again. WOW!! Neato Stuff! PROGRAMMING stuff. =
We got stuff like:
"mail.imap.new_mail_get_headers", true);
pref("mail.progress_pane", true);
pref("mail.imap.max_cached_connections", 5);
pref("mail.imap.hide_other_users", false);
pref("mail.imap.noop_check_count", 5);
pref("mail.imap.hide_unused_namespaces", true);
pref("mail.imap.ssl.show_insecure_images", true);
and stuff like:

and stuff like:

and the ever popular stuff like:

En......
This give a whole new meaning to the word "cookie"
I think the guys who are busy writing viruses and worms are waaaaaaaaayyy=
yyy behind the learning curve here. Why bother with viruses when you can =
just browse the disc of your choice and take what you like?? Besides - a =
virus shows up in the page source info ... this was invisible, AND it was=
a message that was forwarded thru a large website... but the secret code=
was not filtered out. =
If anyone wants to try to analyse this stuff I'll forward the original me=
ssage, and since the page source info won't survive the forwarding proces=
s, I'll send all that as text.
What I want to know is, How is this done and do I need Outlook Express?

P.S. If you can spare a few urls, you can send them to =
Dr. Ogoli Kalibe <ogolikalibe@yahoo.com>
(or just punch "respond")
