Fortunately in Linux usually to be able to run executable arriving in email you need to do following: 1) Save file to disk 2) chmod +x that_file (or equivalent in GUI) 3) run_that_file Intersection of people willing to run binaries arriving from unknown source in mail and able to do above fortunately is small ;-) Security holes in image decoders, etc.. this can lead to problems if its common that users don't update. -- Aloril <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
