Slashdot has a couple links and discussion about Yahoo! admitting that they use a parser to edit certain words in their users' private e-mail accounts, all in an attempt to protect their scripting in their browser-based e-mail.

"mocha" is converted to "expresso"
"free expression" to "free statement"
"medieval" to "medireview"
