Javascript in Emails

Hi,

at the moment I'm working on my diploma thesis, my topic is HTML-Code
in emails. I should try to hide javascript- or html-code in an
email so that the addressee is not able to see it - the addressee only
sees the text.

My teacher would like to see what is possible over hidden html-/
javascript-code or and whether it's possible to execute files or
whether it's possible to do any damage like viruses/Trojans with this
hidden code.

Does anybody have tips or helpful links/documents about this topic?

thanks in advance
Daniel

Gee, if you don't know by now that it's impossible to hide it and why, I
won't put my money on your graduation.

As for the other thing: STFW, there's plenty of material about it, none of
which is particularly on-topic here as it isn't language-specific. Try
comp.security.misc, or in your case maybe de.comp.security.misc and
de.comp.security.virus.

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people

the best source of advice on designing systems that use javascript.

I would suggest that it might be better to choose a subject about
which you know something if you are planning on writing a diploma
thesis.

Brushing up on your grammar will make your thesis readable.

Based on your post, I would say you should save wasting your time,
because you are unlikely to pass.
