Here is the content that is in the HTML but which the linked page refuses to actually show on the screen, instead opting for a "run javascript" message:

<meta content='Our university deployed a mail filter that rewrites URLs in emails to redirect them via a service that checks for bad websites. Somebody clever worked out that PGP-signed emails are exempt from the rewrite rule, so now people are starting their emails with &quot;BEGIN PGP MESSAGE&quot; even though they haven&#39;t used PGP at all, just to fool the filter

Anybody sending malware links has probably also worked out that trick by now, thereby rendering the entire filter pointless' name='description'>
