[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1574258"] Well, from the article, I think you could come under attack from an email with an attachment of .rtf format that you simply save and open with Word, even if Word is not the default email reader and even if you don't use Outlook. But given that it is an executable, and that the OS is not Windows, I don't think it was clear if there was a threat to Macs at all. The one confusing point was the specific inclusion of Word for Mac in the list of affected packages. Normally I ignore these kinds of warnings. I think I'll do that for this one, too. [/QUOTE]
