You're welcome Errol.
I'm not a defender of MS, but it seems to me that they have been doing a
pretty good job of plugging the holes as soon as they are known. There
hasn't been a major security issue with OL for quite a long time.
The attachment policy is simply plugging the biggest security hole there is
- the one sitting in the chair! ;-)

:Thanks

:Well Errol, this is not exactly a new issue with Outlook,
:but are a number
:of ways around it.
:This page details them all:
:http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/esecup/getexe.htm
:
:It's really very simple to work around this.
:
:FWIW, remember the day when OL and OE let all attachments
:through? For
:Outlook that was pre OL2000 SP2.
:People screamed blue murder that MS should do something
:to stop idiots
:opening virus-laden emails, and that OL was an admin
:nightmare (and
:remember, OL is primarily a business tool rather than for
:home users)!
:Well, MS did do something about it, and now people
:(probably different
:people) scream about how MS treats them as dummies...
:You can't please all of the people all of the time...

:Regards
