Well . . . Mail no longer picks up mail from Hotmail--the "fix" stopped working. You can still send though.

Right, so I posted the thing about a Security Warming from M$--see Bob's Place--at my usual "den of iniquity" and the guy who claims to be a PC tech-type responds that "thousands" of Apple users state this update has "destroyed" their computers.

Now, the guy is a good guy, but even I can tell he knows bovine excrement about computers. Fans of the Virus thread will recognize him from comments I quoted and paraphrased. Basically, because HE has not had a virus, a PC CANNOT get a virus or it is ALL the user's fault. I passed on a challenge from Our Guru which he ran from.

So now he claims . . . I am not making this up . . . that this update can destroy your logic board.

Did you get the httpmail plugin 1.5.3 for 10.5.6 yet? As a long time OS X user you should know better that third party plugins and point OS X updates do not mix. So if you need a plugin for a point OS X update, wait for the third party developer to fix the plugin before updating. This should be common sense, even on
Windows machines.
