-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Didtheyreadit just another webbug Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 11:14:47 -0400 From: Neil Schwartzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Declan McCullagh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Curiosity got the better of me, so I signed up for a free account at the latest privacy-violating net thingie ... Didtheyreadit.com
As I have Eudora set to NOT automatically download html bumph, and sure enough a 1x1 pixel white-coloured bug at the end of the test message from me to me.
Gee, how tricky! ;-)

It is also a trivial matter of filtering against dtri3.rampellsoft.com if someone wants to prevent any outbound info. Heck, this is something AlJazeera have been offering on their webmail for free for some time, minus the geographical location data Didtheyreadit.com offer, itself rather meaningless.
