Wow. I knew that Yahoo! were bad (well not exactly I suppose, just a bit annoying and corporate) and I knew that HTML emails were bad but I didn't realise that the combination was so evil. I was so shocked by this that I have actually registered a second domain so that my parents can use it's non yahoo email addresses even thought they only use plain text. Oh and because I kind of like having my own domains. And jo@charman.org sounds better than jo@tinyjo.net for business purposes :)

I'm sure they could have done a more subtle hack: replacing random characters with their hex escape sequence which would have left them invalid(?) as script but would render the same.

I once tried to write some Javascript that generated Javascript: document.writeln just refuses to output the script tags, which must mean browsers do something similar to prevent crazyness happening.

How did you train your parents to use plain text? Mine insist on awful sky blue stationery on their html mails...
