Oh, good, you've saved me the effort of having to read the rest of
your post...after all, it's safe to assume that if I do, it'll just
be more talking down.
Thanks for preventing me from wasting any further time with you.

I am no programming guru, but from personal experience, I know what's
secure and what isn't.
Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook Express are not secure. They can
issue updates into eternity, but they are still trying to patch that
Rambler frame which was a rust bucket the day it rolled off the line.
Sorry for the trailer park metaphor, but it seems very appropriate.
sponge, certain NGs are being targeted by M$ trolls, specifically this one
and the Linux ones. The best thing you can do is simply ignore.
M$ will introduce Longhorn and Palladium, and both will become fertile new
playgrounds for the crackers and script kiddies.

The insecurity of IE 5.5 is such that Microsoft has said that they
can’t and will not try to remedy it. Future patches for IE 5.5 will not
be made available. I would strongly recommend that you upgrade to IE
6.0 & OE 6.0. Yes, patches on patches unto eternity. Microsoft security
is deplorable. None the less, this is the best available solution.

Looks like you have dedicated email and news programs, so why not replace
the Netscape with Phoenix Firebird as I did? Exactly the same browser and
way less bloat. Lots of skins are available as well.
