Bugtraq: mail bombing ;-)

[mellan () AXIME COM (Alain Mellan)]

Hi

I discovered an annoying bug in MS Internet Mail and News.

I forwarded a mail with Emacs' VM 6.13 to a friend reading
with MS Mail&News on NT4.0.

The poor guy spent a day trying to reinstall Mail&News, NT, etc,
before realizing my mail he was trying to retrieve on a POP server
crashed his Mail&News.

That's what I call mail bombing!!

We've tried a couple of times with different mails, and it crashes
every time.
