    Well, there you have it, my new MS Security Bulletin email format based on Microsoft's revised Security Bulletin format.

    Have a look at the MS Bulletin and let me know if you think there's value in having any other sections of it in my email notification. I tried to keep mine small enough yet with sufficient info.

    One problem I've encountered is in putting URLs into the email. For some reason things like an "=" gets turned into a "=3D" somewhere between my app and the approval message returned by the LSoft Listserv. I think it has something to do with LSoft, but can't be sure. Until I get that sorted out, I dropped including the links to the specific versions of the patches (in the Affected Software section.)

    Cheers,
    Russ - NTBugtraq Editor
