    Hi,
    I found Buffer Overflow vulnerabilities in Becky! Internet Mail 2.00.05

    Becky! Internet Mail is popular MUA (Mail User Agent) designed for
    Windows operating systems.

    Problem Description
    -------------------
    If the message includes over 65536 bytes without new line characters,
    the buffer will be overflowed.

    Buffer overflow also occurs when attempt to reply or forward to the

    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow remote
    attackers to execute arbitrary commands.
