mostly guessing, but the unfiltered and rendered page contains much more information while the "sanitised" one contains just a *really* long URL (which, another guess, probably contains the recepient's ID embedded) with no other details visible; you raise an interesting point, and in my mythical spare time it would be intriguing to fire up Wireshark to see what actually gets loaded when opening such a message; from past experience when looking what gets loaded when an innocuous looking web news page is opened with a browser, the picture is not pretty ... _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
