I don't know what kind of "remote content" you added to your message,
but Thunderbird has blocked it "to protect my privacy".

"To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this
message".

A closer examination in the "options" shows there was something from
"example.com" and "channel9.msdn.com". Harmless, most likely, but still
a waste of time on a *text* news group.

A link to a 50 minute speech by someone in Microsoft about Cyber Security, or at least that was my just from jumping
quickly through 10 minutes or so. Very dull speaker and boring at that. Not the subject, but the speaker.
IMHO.

For some reason, the dual nature of the message was not preserved
at the source, and doesn't appear to encode both a standalone text
and an HTML section as separate items. The content that isn't showing
is just a raw IFrame. I guess you could say the message was "over-wrapped".

I kept expecting GG to post a followup message with
his link, since it appeared to be missing. By using Howard, I
can see there actually was content after all. Since Google
doesn't archive this newsgroup, I can't use Google Groups
to look at it. Thank God for Howard still working, to help
fill in the gaps.

The actual link (full page rendered in your web browser) would be:

and the attempt to snatch just the player from the page was a problem.

The player window has a "Download" button below it, with some
format selections. Which may help if you're "not on FCC broadband" :-)
You know, that flavor of broadband "not available in your area".

Thanks Paul... and thanks Howard!

I guess Good Guy was trying to direct us to 30'00" in the video, when
Julia White talks about Windows 10's built-in data protection capability.

One of the messages was that passwords are a thing of the past.
Authentication has moved on.

Yes, a pity that she goes so fast over the ground but impressive
nevertheless. Might have been a useful wakeup call to CEOs in many
companies (Talktalk springs to mind). Not at all clear how this
works out with the wide variety of players in the relevant markets
though.
