NODE 591ec069Notes security question

While I'm at it, here's a question I've been wondering about recently: Why
is it I've never heard of any security issues with Lotus Notes? Are there
no known weaknesses? Or did existing weaknesses just not get much press
because Notes isn't a commercially visible consumer product like Netscape?

Perhaps the Notes pricing scheme is sooo outrageous (by the standards of
a student like myself, and probably most others, if it's still anything
like it was at the 1.0 release) that mostpeople have had zero opportunity
to examine the program, let alone really have time to play with it?
