If we know the weakness...
...we must protect against it. When we are told that our e-mail is likely to be exploited soon - that it may allow others to gain access to our computers - are we supposed to wait for Microsoft to come out with a patch? I agree they should create a temporary patch immediately, or inform their customers of the weakness and that outside security may be beneficial. I use Taceo for e-mail security and I would recommend trying it (free download) rather than waiting for a patch to come out. https://www.secure.essentialsecurity.com/DCenter/
