Subject: [Leica] Outlook/Outlook Express Security Hole

Just to close the loop on this topic, Microsoft has posted a patch to fix
the "malformed header" exploit for Outlook and Outlook Express---this patch
is much smaller (936 KB) than the "fix" they were recommending earlier this
week, which was the 16.3MB Service Pack 1 for Internet Explorer 5.01, or the
new IE 5.5. See
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/critical/patch9.htm for
details.
