Another web-based mail reader hole

This bug has been fixed in most webmail clients for quite some time now,
but I guess some people just don't see security as a design priority.

The free, web-based mail client at www.angelfire.com passes authentication
data in the URL.  So your authentication token hapilly gets logged if
you use a proxy server or follow a link in a mail message (via the HTTP
referrer header).

Without really bothering to look deeper, it's quite likely that the web
page editor at the same site uses the same authentication token or is
susceptible to the same bug.
