Heh. From http://mail.lab.net/lists/archive/risks-exploder/2001-November.txt: -------------- Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 14:11:24 -0600 From: "Neulinger, Nathan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Trick the user with Outlook XP and possibly others Summary: system messages in the bar above the headers I recently saw a couple messages from a friend that had this yellow bar at the top of the message (same place as outlook sticks other system messages, like that annoying stuff about extra line breaks, and the "You have replied to this message" comments) The message said: (i) Your mailbox is corrupt. Upgrade your mail software. Now, obviously, I was a bit disturbed by this. Tracking it down, it is the "X-Message-Flag" mail header. Seems to me it can be quite dangerous to allow a remote user to cause messages to be displayed on your mail client that appear to be generated by the system. (Think about what stupid users do when people send them forwards saying to do stuff.) _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
