    MSN also filters out other strings such as
    download.php
    profile.php?
    gallery.php
    .scr

    What is the deal here? Why only PHP, no asp? no aspx?
    One can assume if it were to protect users from viruses, they should at least parse the URL and run it against a trusted site list of some sort.
