This looks like an IE exploit wandering madly through someone's mailbox a=
nd=20
gluing together more or less plausible stuff: of course, I never sent the=
=20
project around (think of the bandwidth!) but stuffed it on BSS (where, AF=
AIK,=20
it still remains).

I don't use Windows, G=F6ran doesn't use Windows, Bob (who got it earlier=
)=20
doesn't use Windows, so it is likely that someone on the list is infected=
 (or=20
maybe something is trawling through the digest on Yahoo?).=20

The solution is obvious enough: everyone on the list using Windows should=
=20
switch to Mozilla ;-) Seriously, though, with the latest release it's=20
actually a better browser, and does not have 10+ unpatched security holes=
!
