Probably there will soon be thousands of pages which include this code, and people using Netscape 2.0 will be spammed with commercial messages. So just put some false e-mail address in your Netscape browser to disable this feature.
Changing the email address known to netscape doesn't help. Your email address is in the message sent, regardless of what netscape thinks your identity is.
I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. The Javascript program uses Netscape to send the e-mail. The only way Netscape knows your actual e-mail address is if you tell Netscape what it is. The comments on the page tell you that deleting your e-mail address from Netscape's config, or supplying it with a false one, prevents the script from working. I visited the page using a fake e-mail address, and have yet to be sent a confirmation e-mail.
On my system (Linux), the "Sender: " header contains my address no matter what I set my address too. -- Jeff
