This update does two things:


1) A backup of your DBX database is made before compation of the database occurs, just in case something goes wrong.  The backup DBX will be moved to the Recycle Bin once compation completes successfully.  Also, if compaction is dome manually via File, Folder, the compaction counter will reset.


2) It gives us back the ability to save and use emails as templates.

Scary words were used by various parties who picked up on the alert, and ran with it, including “unpatched vulnerability”… “zero day bug”… “Immunity will make the exploit public […]
