I have a really old Hotmail account (registered in 1998 if you can believe it) that I login to periodically just to keep the account active. When I go in there I check the Junk folder just to see if I get any legitimate emails got dumped there by mistake (which doesn’t happen too often, a nod to Hotmail’s spam filtering system).
HOWEVER…
I am using the new Outlook interface. I go to check the Junk folder, and see this:
Your eyes do not deceive you. Somehow the spammer was able to inject red hearts into the subject line. This is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this.
To the Hotmail team: Fix this. Now. Strip any and all ways of allowing the sender ability to specify any sort of color for subject line text. The fact this exists is seriously stupid.
