• The new Mail application in Lion no longer supports turning preview off in its default new look, which is a boon for spammers. Suddenly all e-mails that did not get detected by the spam filters get opened by simply selection and with some clever HTML reference and inclusion alerts the spammer who did so. Expect your information to get collected and to get spammed even more. Automatic mail previews is a insecure concept. [Links: Lion’s new mail]
