WORKAROUND
To workaround this problem:
Do not start messages with the word "begin" followed by two spaces.
Use only one space between the word "begin" and the following data.
Capitalize the word "begin" so that it is reads "Begin."
Use a different word such as "start" or "commence."


*G* Glad you found it. It just feels like a very bizarre "solution"
by Microsoft. .


sort of like their workaround for that URL bug in IE they had... went something along the lines of wanting their users to manually type URLs into the address bar instead of clicking them if they were concerned about security (rather than fixing the bug)... ahh micro$oft.. always good for a laugh:)



I think you're being very unfair - they suggested you copy the shortcut
to the clipboard and paste it into notepad before clicking it. ;)


Maybe it should be renamed to URLpad. I still don't quite get it why "okay, our browser
has very bad exploitable 'issues', but that's not a problem as long as you trust the owners
of the websites you are surfing to" may legally be called a security policy.
