Subject: Pine vulnerability


Gents:

First, the vulnerability is in metamail, not Pine itself.

Second, my MIME-sanitization procmail filter was updated the day of
the announcement to address the vulnerability at least in part. You
may want to mention
http://www.wolfenet.com/~jhardin/procmail-security.html again. 

Thanks.
