Qualcomm Eudora 5.2 has been released recently. Quoting from
http://www.eudora.com/download/eudora/windows/5.2/RelNotes.txt :

Those fixes are not very robust. Attachments can still be spoofed, e.g.
with message:

  MIME-Version: 1.0
  From: me
  To: you
  Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="xyz"
  
  It does not seem to matter much what MIME boundary we use,
  a "bare" spoofed attachment line is NOT prefixed with #?
  Attachment Converted: "c:\winnt\system32\calc.exe"
  Never mind that the text comes out all funny...

Any other tricks we can play?

Cheers,
