Interesting. Thanks. But I haven't heard of using IE to browse websites,
that IE would go to OE and dish out e-mail addresses. Is there a patch for
this from MS? I update fairly regularly but just don't recall this e-mail
address leakage problem.
But again, can someone use a trace router, IP owner searcher pgm, or simply
ask the web host what e-mail address belongs to a certain website?
