RE: [IMail Forum] anyone else get hit by thisstuart.messagemates.com

There was an alert in the press last week that said Javascript in HTML mail 
could get into your privates and form-submit them to wherever.  ie, just 
opening the HTML mail msg has the browser execute the .js and do the dirty 
deed.  hackers/spammer's heaven, read your entire cookie file.

I have seen no response from MS or NS about this very nasty possbility.  I 
have turned off HTML mail in my Eudora 4.2.2.
