RE: [Full-Disclosure] HTML FORMATED MAIL ( ie - oe - html ) bgsound local file - ding?i was not clear if it was an 
issue, nor do i see my post.. heh
it should be viewed in its original format ( html ) preferably by online mail services to show this is accessing a 
local file. there is no malicious content

  Do you have an exploit example for this that is anything other than just an annoyance?

  ding ding ding <--- its a local file 
  this should work reading FROM hotmail as well or any web ( html ) based 
  mail reader ( i think ) 
  the tag <BGSOUND> carries many optopns as well, and referenced at 
  http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/bgsound.asp 
  this is calling c:\windows\media\ding.wav ( 9x / XP ) and c:\winnt\media\ding.wav 
  this affects Microsft Win9x / NT / 2K / XP / 200? is this an annoyance or bug?
