I do use Linux, but not for e-mail. When properly configured, no executable content can run from e-mail in Outlook Express, at least until someone finds the next security hole in it ;-).
Since I use IE/Win for SOAP development (xmlhttp), I do worry about the unpatched security holes in IE, e.g. http://www.pivx.com/larholm/unpatched/ and consider them SOAP-relevant, at least for me. Outlook Express is less SOAP-relevant, of course, but I thought it used IE as html viewer and was therefore vulnerable to most if not all of the IE attacks, just as Eudora is if you use the "Microsoft Viewer"; e.g. http://security.greymagic.com/adv/gm002-ie/ still listed as "unpatched" by Larholm as of yesterday. Is this false? If so, I would appreciate the correction; I tell clients and friends to avoid Outlook Express except on Macs, but it isn't a religious issue.
(Yes, I know we're straying from SOAP, and won't continue the "Ed King?" thread further even to speculate that this atypical behavior for the virus amounted to a DoS attack by an evil Windows machine on an open-source list. no no no, it wasn't me saying that, it was the other Tom Myers) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
