Up until now URLs to the BUGTRAQ archives at SecurityFocus.com included
the Message-ID as part of the URL. This meant URLs were extremely long
and awkward in messages. I apologize this should have been fixed long ago.
If you visit the archives now ( http://www.securityfocus.com/bugtraq/archive )
you will notice that at the bottom of each message there is a new URL. This
shorter URL will allow you to link directly to messages in the archive.
For example, http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/79440 links to the
recent message by Richard Smith on Microsoft documents and embedded links.
Please, when linking to the archives use these new shorter URLs. The old
URLs which the Message-ID are still supported so there is no need to worry
that old links might stop working.
We've also have changed search engines. To put it kindly the one we
were using in the past was rather lacking. The new one is much improved.
Give it a whirl.
