"The Netscape browser does not escape the gif file comment in the image
information page. This allows javascript execution in the "about:"
protocol and can for example be used to upload the History
(about:global) to a webserver."

As this is the browser many of us use, I'm sure this will be of
interest. 

Time to disable Javascript again..

Donncha.
