[Richard Ibbotson <nospam [at] sheflug.co.uk>]

Dear All

Just got some spam from Opera the bowser people...........


Opera Software welcomes you to our best Linux Internet experience to
 date!

Today, Opera releases its famous Opera 5 browser for Linux. If you
 are longing for a faster, more efficient and simply better Internet
 experience, without having to pay, Opera 5.0  is the answer. Opera,
 long known as the browser for more savvy Internet users now enters
 the free Linux browser market with the its new sponsor-supported
 version.

You are now able to enjoy all its features, its speed and its small
 size (it's a 2.6 MB download), for free! In order to be as universal
 as possible, the Opera Linux browser has been tested on 9 different
 distributions : Corel 1.0, Caldera 2.2, Debian Potato 2.2, Mandrake
 (6.0, 7.1 and 7.2), NetBSD 1.5_BETA/i386, RedHat (6.1, 6.2 and 7.0),
 Slackware 7, SuSE 7.0 and YellowDog 2.2.

Sail across the web with this super-speedy, flexible, and efficient
 browser! Opera is a fast, small, secure, configurable, and standards
 compliant Internet/intranet browser . Opera gives you the freedom to
 run multiple windows without opening up other instances and many
 more features that make it the best choice for the serious web
 enthusiasts.

Opera continues its commitment to the standards as laid out by the
 W3C. That's why Opera 5.0 incorporates new functions such as better
 support for HTML coding. It is a recommended for improved surfing:

- Improved scripting for Javascript and ECMAScript
- Improved support for HTML event handlers
- Changes to comply with HTML
- Support for CSS system colors leading to better color handling
- Improved news and e-mail handling and better and more configurable
 email/news message interface. - Improvements in SSL handling of
 certificates
- Improvements in FTP

System administrators' can enjoy as well our browser : with Opera you
 can choose to disable some of the user preferences and override user
 choices. Used with care this system is useful for hiding items from
 the users; including proxy servers and network choices.

Opera is flexible : choose whether to show menus, buttons,
 scrollbars, progress information, etc... If users don't need it, why
 show it? If users don't like the UI gadgetry, they can turn it off.
 If they don't like cookies or referrer logging, frames or
 multimedia, or if it's just Javascript, one click turns them off. If
 they'd like to customize the look and feel of your tool bar, no
 problem at all. Customization pure, so that you can see the Internet
 the way THE USER wants and not the way the designer e visaged.
