   Just for completeness, this article is mentioned, and another
similar article is also listed, in a previous Micronet message thread:

   <http://ls.berkeley.edu/mail/micronet/2004/1445.html>

   (Click "Next in thread" to follow the discussion.)

   We're talking with Symantec about this issue, and they're
interested in resolving it. To do so, they will likely need to work
with individual email product vendors, such as QUALCOMM for Eudora ...
