NTT DoCoMo Warns Users Of Prank E-Mail On Cell Phones
TOKYO (Nikkei)--NTT DoCoMo Inc. (9437) announced Wednesday it will implement
measures against prank e-mail messages sent to cellular phones under its
i-mode Internet access service.
Some prank e-mail messages contain special commands that automatically call
the police or other parties when users open them. Some commands in such
messages disable the phones in some way.
NTT DoCoMo says it will warn users not to open messages from unknown persons
on its Web site and in monthly bills. Its new cell phone models to be
marketed in July will come with a program to prevent prank e-mail commands
from functioning.

Not sure how this is possible without any scripting language, or is there
one we just don't know about?
