It's obviously not suitable for checking newsgroup messages.
And why would you do that anyway? You should be reading in whatever
"safe mode" your newsreader provides. In other words read plain text
only - don't render html messages or automatically display attachments
(there aren't any here anyway). That way, there's no risk whatsoever.

Well, read the messages. It must have been the text of the html and
script that was posted by Rafters and probably html snippets posted
by others that showed a script source URL. No danger at all in plain
text posts and even if they had been active in html posts and you
were rendering them, your newsreader should not be fetching remote
content from embedded links.
