Bug in Outlook Express for Mac

Microsoft today acknowledged a problem with its Outlook Express email
application for the Macintosh platform that threatens to erase incoming
mail before it is read. 

The problem, which affects people using Outlook Express 4.01 for
Macintosh, occurs when users set up filters for incoming mail to go to a
folder other than the in-box. If the computer's hard disk is near
capacity, the incoming mail may vanish. 

Microsoft characterized the problem as "rare," but urged Macintosh users
to fix it by downloading an upgrade, Mac Outlook Express 4.02. That
upgrade also will include a fix to the "buffer overrun" or "long file
name" security bug, which affects Outlook Express and other email
programs. 

Microsoft will post the update to its Outlook Express Macintosh Edition
site this afternoon.
