Every wondered how Facebook spoofs Gmail message list snippet text?

6 chrisjj 2 5/26/2025, 8:32:46 PM
E.g. Gmail inbox shows a message contains "XXX tagged you on Facebook. Take a look about what she said on you."

But when you open the message, there's no "Take a look about what she said on you."

Answer. The text is present but hidden:

<span style=3D"color:#FFFFFF;font-size:1px;opacity:0;">Take a look at what she said about you.</span>

And unsurprisingly whenever I do click through, I find she hasn't said anything about me.

She did say something about you, but she wrote it in white text

HTML email was a mistake. I believe the guilty party is Microsoft with Outlook 97.
