<DIV><SPAN class=623342104-17062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>- The changes in
6.0.7 are considered minor or only affect a small percentage of users. If you
are experiencing an issue that is fixed in BES 6.0.7, you can upgrade any or all
components. If you are not affected by one of the changes, you do not need to
upgrade.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the changes in 6.0.7 is available at <A
