I guess I need to broaden my reading of these postings since when I first read 
your original post I only looked at the body of the message and thus I failed 
to notice that the subject header specified SuSE 9.3. I am also using that 
distribution and for the last two to three months YOU (YaST Online Update) has 
kept trying to give me Wine version 20050211 as a security update for the WMF 
exploit. As I understand it, at least the most recent five or six versions of 
Wine have plugged that hole and are far superior to version 20050211. I would 
be very interested in what you have done to the YaST repository if you have 
changed something that eliminates that nag from YOU.

I use Wine because Pegasus Mail (Windows based software) is my mail client of 
choice. I cannot use Wine versions 0.9.9 through 0.9.11 for various reasons to 
run this application.
