First IE 7 Bug is a Leftover

The first bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 is being discussed. It is a problem in redirection handling with the "mhtml:" URI handler. However, according to the Internet Storm Center, this bug is actually something left over from IE 6. It appears that for compatibility reasons, Microsoft included an older MSXML ActiveX component that had this bug, which they say was announced at http://secunia.com/advisories/19738.
