How is this different from <<ANY>> other redirect attack. Why is this a ".MAC 
Webmail phishing attack" ???

Is there anything special about .mac webmail that makes this kind of attack any 
easier? This is not some intuitive leap here...

Now the IE obfuscated (look up the definition in dictionary.com) redirection 
bug, that was good. It could even be crafted to make the little lock icon 
appear.

I just don't want some ignorant reporter reading your message and thinking "oh 
my god, Apple's email service is full of holes!!!"
