Markoff reports in today's NY Times on Eudora's e-mail security flaw: http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/yr/mo/biztech/articles/07email-code.html It's the feature which allows clicking on a URL in a message, which can run an attached malicious program, or otherwise trash a user's disk. A fix is due out this afternoon from Qualcomm. In the meantime NYT says the flaw can be fixed by going to "Options," "Viewing Mail" and turning off "Use Microsoft's viewer." Security experts are quoted: beware any attachment to E-mail, and not just for Eudora.
