Perhaps you should patch your mail client as well, as it tells me you're using Mutt/1.5.21 ;) Personally I don't see it as a security problem, but neither do I see any reason not to take it out. I admit, I do occasionally run pdfinfo(1) on documents just to see how the author created it. (Perhaps I need a hobby.) -- Anthony J.
