Using Outlook? You should probably do some patching

Re: INSECURE BY DESIGN

I veered from mild positivism to major negativism of Outlook when I found out about the 2Gb mailbox limit in old versions. Not the limit itself, but the way that Outlook allowed you to go over the limit and then announce that your mailbox needed the "inbox repair tool" to be able to function again. This is sloppy programming in not dealing with a boundary condition ahead of its manifestation. The fact that MS gave you a tool to "cure" the corruption rather than prevent it in the first place says a lot. And don't get me started on winmail.dat.
