Yahoo Tuning Groups Ultimate Backup tuning active content and HTML posts in general

Folks,

Earlier today, Chris V. apparently copied and pasted some
HTML content from the web into a post. It caused Caleb's
browser to crash, so naturally he replied to let others
know, quoting Chris' message in full! Yahoo flagged that
as spam, as well as a reply from Michael that also contained
the quoted original.

All three messages have been deleted.

I *strongly* discourage posting HTML content to the list.
Use a URL instead. Not only is it a security risk, it also
doesn't display uniformly on all e-mail readers. Plain text
remains the gold standard for readability and uniformity on
the widest range of systems.

Thanks,

-Carl

Sorry about quoting it--I didn't know what was going on, I was in a
mild panic. Thanks for explaining.

I'm sorry about that - I had no idea that would be the result.

Thanks Carl - I'll do that in the future

That message provoked my Apple Mail to try to connect to an external
IP adress. No amount of cancelling helped get rid of the message. I
managed to delete the message by other means in the end.

Which of course you could not because it was a controled account.

Again I apologize and will post something like that into notepad first.

There was a script in there somewhere. Just viewing the message
on Yahoo threw up dialogs about whether I wanted to visit some
other site. -C.

How did you do that, I have the same problem (at least I can still send mails, but I will have to read your reply in the lists archive..)

Best wishes,

Dear Torsten,

I respond to this list in hopes that other Mac users will find my
rescue method useful.

Command-Q from Mail. This will quit the application.
Launch Mail again.
Before it has the oppurtunity to read the corrupt e-mail, hit delete!

You must send it to trash as soon as Mail opens. To be on the safe
side, empty your mail trash.

Cordially,
Oz.
