Say a website has a bug in it. That's fine. They already have that info but the web bug is an easier way to sort it. It's their computer so they can do what they want.

If there is a bug in your email or PDF that's a different story. Most email clients are good and don't allow spying. I use Yahoo, Gmail and pine and all three are secure.

My computer is my property and it should only serve me. It's like Adobe is run by some kind of hippies who don't believe in property. "We'll just waltz into the house that you paid for and raid the fridge and leave flowers strewn on the carpet."

Perhaps I sound like a Republican but people like this should be thrown in jail.

Pine's buggy, not secure. It could lead to even worse consequences.

As our security officer has put it, "one specially crafted message was enough reason for me to drop Pine". He's using Mutt now, me too (for being programmable, but that's another matter).

Telling they're insecure doesn't make us more secure per se... even if it's not exactly technical security.
