List,

   For those who may be interested, there is a new "potential" security
problem with some e-mail programs. The entire post from 'Tourbus' that I
have is 14K long, so I won't put it on the list unless there is a big
demand. I'll be glad to send it privately, though, if you're interested.

>Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook
>Express, and Netscape Messenger all contain serious flaws that could
>potentially damage your computer.

>Unless you use Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, or Netscape
>Messenger (also known as "Netscape Mail"), you do not have to worry about
>the buffer overflow problem. It does *NOT* affect you or your email program.
