Qualcomm says that its products are not affected here: http://eudora.qualcomm.com/press/ However, the wording there says "... Eudora does not allow any unauthorized programs to be automatically executed on a user's system...", which seems to me that problem with merely receiving long filenames isn't a problem (as it is with the other products), but that a problem doesn't necessarily _not_ exist when you try to explicitly run the (bogus) attachment, as you've seen. -- David Kozinn davidat_private Strategic Services +1-212-708-2080 Mutual Of New York
