Actually, no, you didn't. (Presumably you intended to, though.) Your question spoke of "opening" a particularly-named attachment: You left unstated who or what was supposed to be doing the opening. Since this was in the context of MUAs, I inferred that you meant the MUA doing it -- that being a standard application-security problem. Specifically, you said: > Do you mean to say that opening "message.txt\t\t\t.desktop" which > happens to be a freedesktop.org compliant launcher for the program "rm > -rf $HOME" is safe because it's designed for people running one of the > F/OSS products GNOME or KDE on a F/OSS OS? Since (it turns out) you meant people _manually_ shooting themselves in the foot, that is indeed a different scenario from what I thought you meant. So, I'm sorry for inadvertantly stepping on your scenario, but it was an honest and straightforward interpretation of what you said. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
