Because OL is a BUSINESS software, more dev work has gone into it to NOT
allow all the junk through. Assuming folks who use OL are busy working and
shouldn't be getting email that entertains...there's no need to allow most
of that stuff through. So much of it is blocked. Too much in some cases. But
there are hacks to get what you need to do your job, without taking the
chance that junk mail and viruses can get through.

OE is much less secure. As you've heard...with OE you can view anything.
Therein lies the opportunity of something getting through. With a home
user...one computer might not be a big deal if it gets trashed. In a
business, a network virus could bring the company to it's knees.
