1. An e-mail message containing live data
intended to do nefarious things to the recipient's computer or
terminal. It is possible, for example, to send letterbombs
that will lock up some specific kinds of terminals when they
are viewed, so thoroughly that the user must turn the terminal
off to unwedge it. Under Unix, a letterbomb can also try to
get part of its contents interpreted as a shell command. The
results of this could range from silly to tragic.
See also Trojan horse; compare nastygram, talk bomb.
2. Loosely, a mailbomb.

(jargon) | letterbomb
1. n. A piece of email containing live data intended to do nefarious
things to the recipient's machine or terminal. It used to be possible, for
example, to send letterbombs that would lock up some specific kinds of
terminals when they are viewed, so thoroughly that the user must cycle
power (see cycle, sense 3) to unwedge them. Under Unix, a letterbomb can
also try to get part of its contents interpreted as a shell command to the
mailer. The results of this could range from silly to tragic; fortunately
it has been some years since any of the standard Unix/Internet mail
software was vulnerable to such an attack (though, as the Melissa virus
attack demonstrated in early 1999, Microsoft systems can have serious
problems). See also Trojan horse; compare nastygram.
2. Loosely, a mailbomb.
