    When i read George Guninski's article (on his site) 
    about the getobject vulnerability, I wondered how 
    feasible it would be to actually open a temp. internet 
    file...
    Guess what? It can be done fairly simply.  This 
    doesn't seem too bad at first, but because most 
    major webmail msgs are stored in temp. internet 
    files, this causes a pretty vast security glitch.  Instead 
    of snitching cookies, somebody can perhaps also 
    read mail that you've already deleted...
    Not good...
    Here's some (still somewhat buggy) proof of concept 
    code...
    for ie6
    www.geocities.com/freedatarecovery/hr6.html
    for ie4
    www.geocities.com/freedatarecovery/hr4.html
    
    Notes: when prompted, type in getmsg for the 
    dosname (that's the file hotmail uses) or ShowLe for 
    yahoo
    Many error msgs are going to come up, because this 
    just stabs in the dark to find a msg.
