Subject: Re: Mr Zhang From: Bill Budd <bill(at)PSY.UWA.EDU.AU> Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2000 14:11:01 +1100Dear all, Apologies for adding to the noise here, but these messages being posted to the Auditory list by Mr Zhang are becoming a little curious. Initially I thought that the characters in the subject line must result from a translation from a chinese character set, however this doesn't seem to be the case since the header of the message shows a completely different character set from the subject line. (ie. =B7=A2=BC=FE=C8=CB=C8=D5=C6=DA= rather than =3D?gb2312?B? ). Since the characters in the subject line do not appear to b= e random and some sequences vary subtly from message to message I wonder if these messages may not be as pointless as they seem. It may be just paranoia but I seem to remember an instance of a computer virus (last century) that exploited a bug in some Microsoft software such as Outlook whereby a virus could be activated via code in very long subject lines.=20 This may not be the case but I would be most interested to hear comments or whether anyone using Outlook has experienced any difficulties with these messages.
