Why Am I Getting All This Spam? The conclusions of a Study on Unsolicited Commercial E-mail: "Every public, plaintext email address recieves some spam. The number of messages is correlated with the popularity of the site. Obscured addresses (either as human readable or HTML-obscured) receives absolutely no (!) spam. Removing a plaintext address from the web significantly reduces the number of spam emails that address receives."

The first trunk build of Minotaur, the Mozilla stand alone mail client, is now available for Windows. This is the first version that does not share an existing Mozilla profile, but sets up an own. Minotaur Help explains how to migrate Mozilla mail and settings to Minotaur. After my initial test, the first public Minotaur build is in daily use here at hebig.org, sharing the existing Mozilla profile. It runs smooth and safe, with a very list of annoyances that I will talk about later.

Using Mozilla in testing and debugging web sites - recommended; see how Mozilla is packed with useful development and debugging tools. Pilot and crew of this site use Phoenix for the daily surfing - but when it comes to developing stuff, it still is Mozilla time.
