- From the News section of the home page:

12/01/2000
Improved handling of &# and % escapes; they could have been "fixed" within
the body of base64 attachments, thus corrupting the attachment.
Added ".asx", ".wms", ".wmz" and ".wmd" to the default mangle list; the
mangling and poisoning model is going to change very soon.
Added stripping of MS-TNEF attachments created by Microsoft Outlook
Rich-Text format; to strip MS-TNEF attachments, define
SECURITY_STRIP_MSTNEF to be any value. See
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q241/5/38.ASP and
http://www.microsoft.com/TechNet/exchange/2505ch10.asp for more
information.
Rewrote the document macro scanner to be more efficient; now it only makes
one pass through the attachment, where before it was making two passes.
Changed filename length limit to 128 characters from 64; 64 characters is
not enough for proper handling of long filenames with encoded international
characters.

Remodeled the website - there's too much there to fit on one intelligible
page.
