Subject: HTML FORMATED MAIL ( ie - oe - html ) bgsound
 local file - ding?

Just got around to looking at it, and from where I sit, it appears to be
merely an annoyance, apart from fringe circumstances where discernable
audio output from a workstation is critical and is disrupted by this.  In
that case, any bgsound, remote or local, is undesirable.

The file accessed is local, however I fail to see the problem, as nothing
is disclosed to outside parties, and the local user would have access to
any of sounds played by this tag in the first place.

If you have any thoughts on how the content could be malicious, please
correct me.

Wesley
