I got an article about Google's email when I clicked on your link above.
Here is an article about this, with a link to show you-
how this script can affect your system, just by surfing by a web
page.

YOW!
I see Apple finally released a patch for it in the last day
  (Tho- I read they have known about this hole since February??!!!)
What took them so long?
I suppose people writing patches to fix it, motivated them to patch it?

Everyone should get this one.

See http://www.apple.com/support/

Choice of Two patches ,
one is for if you are running pre-OSX.3
one for 10.3 and after


Speak of the other devil we've been discussing this week...
A huge box of Microsoft Office 2004 is at the top of the start page of
Apple.com!   Ha!

Off to install this patch...

Yours,
Kay
