Makes it more readable

Thats what your browser is getting sent.

Probably about 1000 mailto lines, and then that is refreshed every 5 seconds

540805 2007-04-13 16:56:00 Now to go kill my friend who linked it :p

Why put it on a public forum yourself?

It's a disaster for anyone with a low-spec machine.
Just adding a disclaimer is a feeble excuse for something you knew could do harm.

540807 2007-04-13 21:04:00 Interesting .. nasty

On linux, konqueror froze, kmail then went berserk ... had to killall X to get out of it (tried killall kmail and killall konqueror, neither worked)

540808 2007-04-13 21:04:00 and there lies a good reason for haveing ms virtualpc on your system

i just went to that link on my VIRTUAL pc and yep it locked that one up but my REAL o/s didn't even blink......virtualpc is excellent for testing stuff without bothering your real o/s

540809 2007-04-13 21:09:00 not to mention that it takes a very short time to startup the o/s of your choice;

win95: about 2 seconds
win98: about 2 seconds
winxp pro: about 10 seconds

540810 2007-04-13 21:24:00 yes silly me went to the link, it made OSX mail go hay wire. opened up about 30 new messages before i managed to force quit it. plod (107)
540811 2007-04-13 21:41:00 IN linux, you can kinda limit the effects by unassociating kmail being opened by konqueror (still freezes konqueror however, just easier to get out of it).
kcontrol > kde components > component chooser and change email app to /bin/true

If you do open your email app from Konqueror, dont do this; and just avoid the site

Dannz, how were you able to get the code?
