It's a good demonstration of just how badly put together Microsoft's

So what does it do?


Nothing, really.

All I could see was an attachment, which I assumed was a virus so I
didn't download it.


You couldn't have, anyway. It's not an attachment. See this knowledge

IMHO, not fixing such a trivial bug for so extremely long is nothing
short of showing contempt for their customers.

This bug, in connection with another bug that has since been fixed,
actually allowed any properly formatted Usenet message to crash OE when
you clicked on it. It's therefore not as harmless as it might seem at
first glance.
