I have been able to duplicate it on several Pres I have for evaluation. I figured I check to see if you have seen it or if it is specific to my organization/ Exchange/ email settings.. Just discovered it, by looking back in my sent items and haven't contacted sprint/palm yet.

But after the download it syncs perfectly! Prior to the download I couldn’t get my Pre to sync w/MS Exchange 2003 SP1 because we didn’t used http rather than https.

Some will say this is an issue for people who want homebrew apps without rooting, but it fixes a HUGE security hole. You didn't even get confirmation that the ipk was being installed before, you'd just click on a link (which someone could easily disguise) and then the program would be installed. If someone made a malicious program on that it'd have been very bad. The main security fix is that you can no longer install an ipk on a non-rooted Pre just by clicking on the link in your email.
