E-mail "Bug" Could Allow Tracking

According to another ZDNet report, a new bug, found to affect recent versions of Netscape mail, Outlook, and Eudora, could allow an individual to basically tag your e-mail messages to track and read them as they pass from person to person. Using JavaScript, the user can have any reply to the message with the script attached, forwarded back to them, thus receiving your mail. The bug was originally discovered by the London-based Privacy Foundation. For more information read the article over at ZDNet.
