It seems that Yahoo is altering the content of email that passes through their 
servers. Rather than being smart and actually looking for code snippets, they're just 
taking words used in attack code and replacing them; even if the word is in a 
sentence. An example is replacing eval with review. This has resulted in a number of 
sites having the word "medireview" in place of "medieval".

According to one site, this is only done in the HTML portion of an email message. As 
the HoF server strips that portion out and only uses plain text, we should have 
totally unaltered words here.
