Microsoft has its priorities well placed ...
said by Mele20  :I have always read my incoming email in OE in Plain Text. That has been excellent protection until this. Alexander Sotirov from Determina recommends reading ALL MAIL with Telnet. That is sure going to be fun. I use a really old version of Mailwasher (2.0.28 beta) to screen, preview and scrub junk while it's on my ISP's POP server. It's been quite effective and requires minimal effort.
What really gripes me is that Microsoft has not issued a fix for this, but I just saw the second non-patch Tuesday WGA update notification. MS didn't wait for patch Tuesday to issue these "high priority updates".
[sarcasm]
But I'm sure that WGA updates must be a more meaningful priority for users than these insignificant little security holes. But at least I know if my systems become infected, they'll be using "genuine copies" of a vulnerable OS.
