You're using Microsoft Outlook Express.  'Nuff said!

Not 'nuff? Well, IE (which handles HTML for Outlook Express) has lots
of holes... plus Outlook Express has its' own holes in addition to the
ones generously provided by IE.

I once heard that it was possible for a text file to format your hard
drive. I thought that was pretty humorous -- until I found out how it
was done, and then I was a believer. NEVER assume that a virus is
impossible. If you don't want to deal with viruses, give your computer
away.
