All I can say is "woohoo." The more recent versions have been more
secure by default, admittedly, but it's still a security nightmare. Not
to mention an MTA admin's nightmare - "winmail.dat" anybody?
Of course, the real problem is "the technology" - Microsoft MimeOLE -
and that won't be going away. So we won't be free of broken MIME
messages from Windows users for a while yet.
Still, if this means more home users with Mozilla, Eudora (not that it's
much better), etc, that can only be a good thing for 'net security and
mail standards.
