examples of sites that try to redirect me and fail are yahoo and hotmail.

So are you talking about YOU clicking on URL links in their pages? Yahoo and Hotmail have many pages and URLs. Could you be specific by giving a URL that *you* enter and the URL where you end up (i.e., where you started and where you got redirected).

My browser has no 'meta-refresh' setting under internet settings/advanced.

That's the general options page and doesn't have any *security* settings per se. Look under the Security tab. That is where security zones are defined. One of them is called the Internet zone and probably the one you are using.

You won't until you actually look. Click on the button to customize the
settings (you don't need to save any changes, especially if you don't make
any to just see what they currently are). I've customized my settings (to
be more stringent) and am not going to record them all to see what values
are used in the Medium level. As I recall, meta-refresh should be enabled
in Medium level.

So *if* meta-refresh is enabled, just WHAT type of redirect are you asking
about? Give an example site, or better explain what you mean by redirect
(since it can be done invisibly, can be done using frames, etc.).
