No, it did not block it. I got the executable in a posting from openpgp.com. However, since I run Linux, it's pretty irrelevant to me. :-) Bear On Fri, 1 Dec 2000, Pier Carlo Montecucchi wrote:

Well, we've got two gifts from Microsoft's email architecture going around this week. Not only is there the Snow White thing, but there's a Shockwave Flash thing that's spreading around as well. I don't know if it autoexecutes on Outlook, or if it's just an IBM-Christmas-Tree attack that entices users to click on it, but either way, don't be surprised if you get attachments sent to real email programs, and don't be surprised if email to/from big corporations using Exchange gets doggy for a while. There's more information on the Shockwave thing at vil.nai.com Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
