Researchers find new hacker vulnerability in Microsoft e-mail program.
"Unlike other viruses, or 'worms,' the e-mail user isn't required to click on an attachment or read, preview or forward the e-mail to activate the virus. Simply downloading one's e-mail is enough to activate the code."

Commentary ------------- No mention at all of major security threat. Note, this is a different threat from the one reported by CNet two weeks ago, and an even different one from the one causing billions of dollars in damage 2 months ago.
I guess, fucked up software just isn't news at Microsoft.
