All,

We were just talking about e-Mail security on the AS/400. Read the =
latest Microsoft announcement at http://www.microsoft.com/security/ =
concerning a gigantic security hole in Outlook and Outlook Express. It =
seems that if a file has an attachment with a long name, a situation can =
occur where if the attachment is a virus or trojan horse, it can execute =
and attack your system, EVEN IF YOU DON"T TRY TO OPEN IT! =20

You won't see that type of problem on the AS/400!
