Subject: [windows2000] OT what is <!--iCy-->



So, I get 9 million spam e-mails a day like the rest of the world, but
this one that I just got, it's just odd.  It's an HTML e-mail, and the
source of the e-mail is totally loaded up with this HTML comment
<!--iCy--> all throughout the source, and it splits words and
everything.  Sample:

Ge<!--iCy-->ne<!--iCy-->ric Vi<!--iCy-->ag<!--iCy-->ra is now
av<!--iCy-->ail<!--iCy-->able=3D20

If you strip out the comments, which would not be seen if I were viewing
the e-mail in HTML mode, the above statement would just appear as
"Generic Viagra is now available."

I'm just wondering if anyone happens to know what the point of all this
is or if this is something that's meant to prey on a known IE
vulnerability or something.

Thanks,

Ray at work

p.s.  If anyone's looking for generic Viagra, I'll forward you the spam.
