Hi, I watched a video on YouTube the other night. When I was through watching it I emailed the url to a friend of mine via my isp's email. The email isn't connected to Yahoo or Google in any way.
The next day I received emails from Yahoo with the urls of the video that I watched, plus others in the series. I also found out that I was signed up for a yahoo group that pertained to the video, all without my knowledge.
Is there some kind of security leak in Opensuse 12.1 or Thunderbird that would allow this to happen? Maybe everyone else on the list knows why this is, but I am very surprised by it and don't understand why it happened.
how did you send the video coordinates? did you clic on "share" and copy paste the result in a mail or did you use the "mail link to" entry in Firefox? I wonder if the latter can be watched by youtube?

Hi, I clicked on the url address in the browser url window and highlighted it. Then I right clicked it and copied the url address. I then pasted the url address in the email and sent out the email. Again, the email was on my isp's email servers and had no connection to youtube, yahoo, or google. I didn't use any of the share functions on youtube, in fact I wasn't aware of it. It is straight forward for me to just highlight and copy the url address from the browser window, so I did that. I didn't even know that there is a share function on youtube. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
