('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) In-Reply-To: <39C61D56.970FF62Eat_private> Just to let everyone know, Office 2000 is not the only buggy software using Riched20.dll. Another victim of this vulnerability is Microsoft's WordPad, which shipped with every version of Windows from Win95 on. I have confirmed the vulnerability of WordPad on WinMe to this issue; I would be shocked if the others aren't flawed as well.
