    I found a number of sites with similar articles.

    When an email program receives email and parses it, any vulnerabilities in the email program can be exploited.

    By parse it, I mean to be able to show the subject and from, among other things.

    Which is why one should use gmail, leaving any executeables on the Google servers, unless you specifically download them, rather than a POP/IMAP client.

    If you don't mind google reading your mail and you have no security concerns, then sure.

    Do you have evidence that Google is reading the mail, or are you referring to programmatic ad targeting based off keywords in your e-mails?

    Why does every thread about a PC have to turn into a jackoff session for Apple fanboys? I seriously don't get it. Are you that insecure about your favorite product that you have to constantly crow about it to people who clearly don't care?

    It's a thread about windows, and most of you came in here only to talk about Macs.

    Edit: I did say about my awesome 2005 Mac Pro tower, but that was only in response to Denny.

    Well you did say this

    But I am aware of your "double standard"

    Like when you chime in on apple threads to talk trash about how they are overpriced and shit.
