At least some versions of Eudora Light prior to 3.0.5 return a Divide by Zero error and immediately close when trying to pop a message that has a ctime of 0 (Read as Dec 31 1969 19:00 EST (-0500)). This apparently corrupts the .mbx file, and both the message on the pop server and the .mbx file must be manually removed (or hacked) in order to proceed. I can't reproduce this problem with version 3.0.5, and I don't have available an older copy to re-try this. I discovered this anomoly doing ISP tech support for a customer. Can anyone confirm or deny this? -----Original Message----- From: Brett Glass <brettat_private> >InfoWorld, at http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?980728.ehbugs.htm, >claims that the MIME filename overflow exploit affects Eudora.
