MS Outlook javascript parsing bug

It seems that MS Outlook 8.5.5104.6 screws up when displaying the following string in a mail message: <javascript:location.reload()> Note that you do NOT need to click it, just displaying the mail message will crash Outlook. The results are completely unpredictable, everything from hanging, crashing or complaining about not being able to display a particular font or complaining about being out of memory?!?!?! Anyone care to do anything fun with it other than spam mailing people to create a big 'ole DoS? :-) Just my $.02 /Mike -- Mikael Olsson, EnterNet Sweden AB, Box 393, S-891 28 ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK Phone: +46-(0)660-105 50 Fax: +46-(0)660-122 50 Mobile: +46-(0)70-248 00 33 WWW: http://www.enternet.se E-mail: mikael.olsson () enternet se
