Leggo my e-mail!

This story's been out there for a bit, but I certainly heard anything about it. Several large ISP's (Comcast is the nation's largest) were apparently blocking e-mail on their systems that contained links to the Downing Street documents.

From the story:

. . .email sent to two different Comcast customers with the text "www.afterdowningstreet.org" in the body of the mail, is not currently reaching those customers as expected. Though messages with only "afterdowningstreet.org" are, in fact, able to get through to those same customers without a problem.

Thans to the mysterious Cipher for the tip.
