'''Mailinator''' is a free [[disposable email address]] service created in 2003 by [[Paul Tyma]]. The idea is to let a user invent a new [[email address]] on the fly, whenever needed, for instance while filling a form on a [[website]].

(contracted; show full)

Each mailbox also has a ten-message limit, which means that choosing a unique address is important. Presumably this is to prevent a flood of mail to a single address from forcing the Mailinator system to delete messages from other mailboxes earlier than usual.

Finally, according to the Mailinator FAQ, "Plain text is best, [[html]] is filtered. Images, attachments, and fancy stuff are simply stripped away.
  But, on every page showing an email, there is a 'text-view' link where you can see the email PRECISELY as mailinator received it. Headers, dirty words, mime-encoded images, you name it. In other words, that paragraph is dead wrong"
