This is the first time I've seen this type hijacking and wondered how
to counter it.

I went to a site that wanted me to fill out a form for a password to
download a freeware program - seems to be a real electronics technical
site and downloading a beta test of a schematic drawing and simulation
program.

http://members.ol.com.au/score/ the web site and software is called
"score"

Anyhow I put my throw away mail address in the on line form to get the
password ("evaluation2") and it opens my email program which I cancel
out and submit the form. I get the password reply with both my throw
away address and my "return to" address (not the ISP address but my
forwarding account that is in the "return to" field on the messenger
software).

What can I do to see that this won't happen again? Short of changing
the "return to" field each and every time I submit a form. Java
script was not enabled nor were cookies (near as I can tell). The sent
folder in my email program shows no emails being sent to that company.

Any ideas? I use netscape messenger and mozilla browser
