Re: what is this strange link

[Joseph Sinclair]

If you view the source of the message (it'll be pure ASCII) you should be able 
to search for the attachment boundary for 82E5A786026D48CFB93EDE028A88F0EB, and 
see what MIME type it is (or claims to be).
My guess is that it's an HTML or image attachment containing a bogus 
advertisement (considering SportdocPC is a spam tag).  Quite possibly, your 
friend is using a spam-supported program of some sort (many "fun desktop 
widget" programs are in this category) or is infected with a spambot.

Re: ot: CMS

[Ariel Gold]

If you're thinking of going with a python based CMS, you might want to check
out Django (djangoproject.com).

I actually stumbled into PyCon when I was in Argentina, just because I met
someone on the subway who was wearing  a copyleft shirt and I was wearing a
BSD shirt (both black of course) and he said I should go.

I've spent a while learning Drupal, and I'm finally getting good at it, but
going to PyCon really makes me want to learn Python. I learned there that
people are still using Zope, but it's old school. Well I was talking with
the lead developer with django, so he could have been biased =) The other
keynote speaker was from google, working on making python faster. He said
google primarily uses three languages C++, Java, and python. Youtube is
built with python.

Re: ot: CMS

[Mark Phillips]

Take a look at Plone, too (www.plone.org). It has all you want out of the
box, a strong developer community, open source, and Python based. Very
secure (I think it says on the site somewhere that Plone/Zope have never
been hacked, but I can't swear to it).  It has a strong international
following, and many big users in the US (the CIA comes to mind and Animal
Planet?) (http://plone.net/sites/sites_listing?countries%3Alist=).  I
beleive it is in use at some ASU sites (I found David Bear @ College of
Public Programs at ASU on one of the user groups email list) I have been
using it for several years for clients, and they are very happy with it.
Easy to maintain and modify, but I will say it has a learning curve to
understand what a Zope based CMS is all about). YMMV.

Re: what is this strange link

[Dazed_75]

I appreciate the info but I'm not sure it explains anything.  My suspicion
is that it might be a link to some embedded malware or something nasty.  The
fact that hovering the mouse over the link shows the resolution to be
"about:blank" and that there was an image attached to the email make me
wonder if it might point to something embedded in the image that purports to
be the "about:blank" page but also contains some kind of malware.

I did not want to click on it even though I was on linux.  I did want to try
to figure it out in case I should let my friend know about it (he runs
windows).  I have no idea how to figure that out.
