Thanks.
Just to set the record straight, the recent OL bugs are not outlook
problems, but rather IE problems. And the exploit didn't happen
before you opened the message (I would really like to see this
happen..) - it was a typical media overblow. When you watched the
message **in the preview pane** the exploit happened (last time I
heard, preview pane opens the message in both Netscape and IE) the
stupid CNet/ZDNet people decided it's totally different from opening
the actual message, and this stupid misunderstanding became a fact.
Also, the exploit involved the ActiveX capabilities of Outlook and
outlook's integration with IE... Those are not outlook/IE specific,
but rather a general ActiveX problem (if Netscape had a decent
ActiveX support the same flaws would have affected it as well).
Man, don't take offence ;-) you were helpful. Thanks. (I hate
starting a flame war with someone who just pointed me in the right
direction)
