Hi,
Yesterday I mailed a piece of code to my yahoo acount and my
office account .
This is only small part of the entire code.
<script language="JavaScript">
function SendToWebServer(sendto)
{ document.frm.action=sendto;
document.frm.submit();
}
</script>

The problem is that when I went home and checked the mail ,in the mail
the code was altered . I recieved sumthng like this.

<script language="JavaScript">
function SendToWebServer(sendto)
{
* document.frm.actionfiltered=sendto;
document.frm.submit();
}
</script>

If you notice the line marked with asterick got changed,action was
replaced with actionfilter. similarly words like onclick got changed to
onfiltered. Today when I checked the the same copy of mail in the
office account (outlook express) it was exactly same as what I sent
without any abrupt modifications. But the mail which is in the yahoo
account modifies the code.
I tried mailing again but the same problem.

I know this is not a doubt related to this group ,but this has puzzled
me a lot.

Does any body know the reason behind this ?

Regards
Divya
 
No, you are right, it is not a quesiton for this group, but here goes: It is
some form of mail filter to avoid malicious content in the email. As
Javascript can be manipulated, it altered the line with the action word in
it and added filtered to it.
