Proof of the insecurity of HTML-enabled mail- or newsreaders is the recent discovery of the Bubbleboy virus. Now, Bubbleboy can only function in IE5 but i think it won't be long until a similar virus is built that can wreak havoc in _any_ HTML-capable mail- or newsreader. -- Peter Punk \ / ---\\\\--- / \ Have you seen my mind?
