   You are just a pile of hot air who evades answering simple questions   
   because you don't have the answer because you talk out of your hat.

   Then don't make claims that Netscape 4.x is vulnerable unless you can   
   back them up with facts.

   And don't divert or obfuscate the issue with statements like that.   
   I'm not asking you to test Netscape 4.x for current or new   
   vulnerabilities.   
      
   > Netscape Communicator is a DEAD product.   
      
   You really enjoy saying that, don't you?   
      
   You're fixated on saying that.  It's very idiosyncratic behavior.   
      
   This is not about the "dead-ness" of Netscape 4.x.   
      
   > It has been abandoned by it's maker   
      
   WHO THE FUCK CARES !!!!   
      
   THIS IS NOT ABOUT NETSCAPE 4.X BEING ABANDONED, DEAD, OR NO LONGER   
   SUPPORTED YOU FOOL!   
      
   WHY ARE YOU SO MORONIC?   
      
   WHY DO YOU KEEP TURNING THIS DISCUSSION BACK TO THAT ISSUE?   
      
   I'm asking what documented vulnerabilities is netscape 4.x known to   
   have.   
      
   If you can't answer that question, then don't hijack the question by   
   changing the subject.   
      
   > If you care to expose yourself to vulnerabilities   
      
   What vulnerabilities?   
      
   You can't list any, or you refuse to, or you're just bald-face lying   
   that there are any.

   Please list the security concerns that *were* discovered after that   
   date for version 4.x.   
      
   > So those security concerns you discoverd at the site   
   > are still valid against the product, since they are   
   > dated after the last release.   
      
   4 of those 6 concerns related to Java or Flash player, for which   
   updates were made available from Sun and Macromedia to remedy them.   
   You will note that they are listed at "Vendor Patch".   
      
   The remaining 2 concerns are trivial and of no real security   
   significance.   
      
   To reiterate, I use the e-mail and usenet client aspect of Netscape   
   4.79 (which I believe is called Communicator).   
      
   I am only interested in knowing if the e-mail or usenet   
   reading/posting aspect of using this product has any known   
   vulnerabilities, which presumably would come into play when a message   
   is rendered in the preview pane.
