[OS X] install Safari 3.1.1 asap

[Andy Jacobson]

Howdy Folks,

I strongly recommend you install the Safari 3.1.1 update now being  
offered by Apple's Software Update system.  It fixes an important,  
exploitable, security glitch (see footnote 1), a trivial formatting  
bug (footnote 2), and a REALLY ANNOYING bug in mail (footnote 3).

As to this last, if you've noticed that over the past couple of  
weeks, when you paste text copied from e.g. Terminal.app into a Mail  
message that you lose all line breaks...well your nightmare is over.   
Mail uses Safari to format its messages, believe it or not, and they  
fixed this bug pretty quickly.

Cheers,

Andy
