Hello SyP,

On Sun, 26 Oct 2003 20:47:23 +0100 your time, you said:

S> I'd like if someone dissected these claims...

Personally  I've  _never_ installed TB! to the Program Files directory
or  kept  my  message  base in the same place as the TB! installation.
Many  common  exploits  rely  on  default installations so it's just a
precautionary measure.

Of course it's wise to relocate your message base if you have concerns
about  security, or even for convenience. And if you have big concerns
about  security  I would have thought you'd be using Secure Bat and or
employing other measures as well.

Anyhow,  if you are worried about your passwords being compromised, or
you  just like to know that your email is protected at all times, then
you  can  store your mailbase on any secure disk. I use PGP Disk under
W2K  Pro  and  store,  amongst  other things, TB!'s message base on an
encrypted  volume.  Before that my email base was stored together with
my PGP Keys on a removable CF card connected via a USB CF reader - now
the  CF  card  holds  only  my  keys  and  certs.  These are both very
inexpensive and simple ways to secure your mail should you need to.

I do think the claims are legitimate, but I don't really think they're
that important ;-)
