I am such a sucker. I thought the article was actually about comprimised security. This article is such FUD. Embedding images in email has been around for a long time and not just in Outlook. This is just spammers become more desparate and resorting to sending the images in the email. Soon Outlook will have some sort of Bayesian filter for images and then they will claim that Microsoft "fixed the security hole in Outlook". ZDNet - I am so disappointed.
