Knobbe, et al have wonderful things to say and contribute great
things to this list, but i have never read anything they post because they post as attachments. Yes, granted, they are .txt attachments but that is no excuse as it's >
just a matter of time before they are exploited. These gentlemen do not post as attachments. They SIGN their messages, and some clients insist on representing inline S/MIME and OpenPGP messages as attachments. Five will get you 10, that you are using Outlook Express, or an MS Outlook prior to OfficeXP. The blinking signing is so that you CAN trust the source! Assuming you have verified the sender's key and trust them for safe practices, open attachments 'till you get RSI! The NEVER OPEN rule is a dogma for unverified senders - you /knew/ that. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
