Yes. That's why so many people use it - they want to be hacked. No-one has
talked about it before because it's a global conspiracy. Expect a knock at
your door soon.

This is because whatever is blocking your posted URLs is fouling up a
fairly obviously-innocuous request.

No, look what data *you* want. If one wants to check web mail, one has to
pass commands to the server to tell it what to display.

Wonder what Yahoo! is up to? It's displaying your email.

Let's break down this privacy-destroying, data-sending, computer-hacking URL.

/ym/: Directory for Yahoo! mail on the server.

ShowFolder?YY=99358: Could be the folder number or your Y! software version
or some sort of user ID.

y5beta=yes: Self-explanatory. Why it's there twice is anyone's guess :-)

inc=25: Number of emails per page I'd assume.

order=down: Sort descending.

sort=date: Sort by date.

pos=0: Email number to start at.

view=a: View all emails maybe, some other formatting setting.

head=b: Possibly how email headers are displayed.

box=Inbox: Which folder to display.


So you tell me, why does Yahoo! mail need to hack your computer security?
