And having it in the subject causes funnies with the full outlook 2000 client as well. I was scrolling through the bugtraq messages, and noted that this message(call it #2) had the same subject that the previous message(#1) did, although the window title had been updated appropriately. Moving on to the next message (#3), and going back again left me with the subject from message #3 showing on the subject line. It may be possible to overflow Outlook itself by including a carefully crafted subject line. Outlook version 9.0.0.2711 on NT 4 SP5 Rogan

This was tested by sending a message having the above string in the body from hotmail to OE5 client version 5.50.3825.400 on NT4 server sp6. first experianced while trying to open the message sent by Pauli Ojanpera subject reading 'riched32.dll buffer overflow'. Might not work in other OE5 versions. Just thought some one might be interested in this. cheers ind ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
