Probably not, since it looks like a fairly hands-off spam attempt, but I have to say, I'm rather amused by the attempt to spoof a Microsoft based site (in url and content) while spamming a Linux mailing list. It's first-line bait to pull someone into an 'online employment' scam, by the looks of it, with the added benefit of ad revenue from those who load that page with a standard browser.

First, my apologies to this list. I had gotten it from someone else, but bypassed my better judgement in part thinking being on Linux with Firefox were solution enough, which interestingly they were not.
Now, the page itself is pretty benign but it provided the spammers a way to attack webmail sites - e.g. Yahoo! - and go through the address book and sent out their own e-mails. My guess is that it had to be a hack into Firefox to support it, but one not yet patched at least by Kubuntu (my work laptop, which I do keep up to date).
