An issue has been reported which could disclose cookie information to remote web hosts via HTML email messages. Reportedly, if an HTML email referencing an image that resides on a remote server is sent to an Outlook user, upon the recipient opening the email, cookies are sent to the remote server. Apparently, this process takes place if cookies are disabled in Outlook. This issue is due to the way IE and Outlook security settings fail to work in accordance. It should be noted that this issue has not been tested and confirmed yet. Updates will be made as additional information becomes available.
