Re: Another mailing list idea

To reproduce the Word (in)security problem, do the following:

1) Create new blank word document.
2) Type "MS Word is bad for privacy if you see the last seven words."
3) Save the file to a folder.
4) Open the document again and delete everythign after the word "privacy".
5) Save and exit the document.

Now open the word document using any hex editor (I like WinHex), and look
towards the bottom of your display.
