Hmmm, a quick search on google for CYBERMERCIAL shows only 35 hits. Here's a
link to the most relevent one (I think, though it is hard to tell):

I would love to get one just to see what happens, but since I use Mozilla and
have told it not to display images in HTML email, I don't think it would do
anything, if I understand what I'm reading; at least I'm assuming the streamig
link would be treated as such. If not, you can bet Mozilla will soon have an
option to not use the link, even if I have to program it! :-)
