as salaamu alaykum,

Some wierd things have been happening with my yahoo e-mail account.  A few days ago I tried to log in, and a window popped up asking if I consent to "having the content of the following pages be sent to a non-secure third party site".. I said ok (Mulder and Scully probably read my e-mail anyway :P) but this is the first time I've seen that window.

Has this happened to anyone else?  With hotmail, etc?

Yes.  It happened to me also.  I'm not sure why.

yeah i noticed that too... i thought it might have to do with the new computer i was on, but now you bring it up :O

as always I've been warned about sending anything via e-mail that could be dodgey... yup Mulder and Scully are reading your e-mails, assume that at all times.... i just can't wait for them to come visit me at home, then I can perform da'wah and tell them all about Islam :)

anyone know of muslims that are working for the FBI, CIA etc..or are they excluded from that type of job?

slm,

that box comes up when you are currently viewing a completely secure site (one from an HTTPS server), and either some items on that page are linked from a non-secure server or if the page is redirecting you to another page that is not on a non-secure server then IE gets paraoid and tells you what going on... i personally wouldnt worry about... just some quirk in the way yahoo mail is set up :)

hotmail has always said this sort of thing - like meraj says i don't think it's anything to worry about - besides we all know what mulder and scully say - trust no one!!

salam,

Anyone know of any good anonymizer services that can access yahoo mail (ie https) Safeweb.com and Anonymizer.com don't seem to work. I can't access my email from Syria.. This sux :(
