Hi List,

 MS06-003 was released last night:
	"Vulnerability in TNEF Decoding in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Could Allow Remote Code Execution"
	http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS06-003.mspx


 I can't verify for sure, but I have a feeling that if "Deliver Unparsable TNEF" is set to no, this attack might very well be mitigated, at least until some virus signatures exist.
