attacks does not require a user to actually open a message, only view the folder listing.
For example, a remote attacker could effectively launch a DoS against
a user by sending a message with a From header such as:
From:<!--<>(-->John Doe<script>document.cookie='PHPSESSID=xxx<semicolon> path=/'<semicolon></script><>
which rewrites the session ID cookie and effectively logs the user out.");
