I HIGHLY SUGGEST that anyone running Windows, Internet Explorer, Outlook
Express, Outlook, or even Eudora (read below) to apply this security
patch.

"Microsoft has released a cumulative patch for Internet Explorer which
the firm says is a "critical" security precaution against crackers which
should be applied "immediately".

Yes, even Eudora is vulnerable to Microsoft bugs.

"It's also important to note that it's not just users of IE as their
browser that are affected by this bug. Lots of Windows programs took a
shortcut (Eudora being a prime example) and used MSHTML.DLL as the
rendering engine for their application. Any application that displays
HTML and uses MSHTML.DLL and has IE5.5 or IE6 should install this patch
IMMEDIATELY."
