Thank you, Ekhart.
I understand that Outlook Express has its problems. I also feel that I've
taken sufficient precautions not to get burned by them too badly. So far, I
have not found an e-mail client that is easier to use or is more intuitive.
I haven't made a concerted effort to do so because I have no need. When
enough people switch to the others so will the virus writers' attention and
those people will have to do what I'm doing with OE anyway. I think all the
software have problems. MS software is just highly targeted.

No need to apologize, at least in your case; i'm used to people
confusing my first and last names, just wanted to point out which was which.
I'm very sorry if something i said was trying to tell you what to do in
a way you didn't like or that made you feel i was belittling you. I
tried to make jokes out of your continuing to use Outlook Express while
being afraid of being considered paranoid and about calling me a little,
overexcited friend -- which i could have got upset about and considered
belittling if i hadn't been in a good mood (-: -- but those were
honestly meant as jokes. Sorry if they were bad.
I suppose you only didn't like the *way* i told you that it's not a good
idea to continue using Outlook Express, not the fact that i told you
that and why it's not a good idea -- i mean that's what we're here for,
to give computer advice. And if i understand Scott's comment in another
post correctly, he also might now be leaning towards saying that OE is
not a safe program even with the preview pane turned off:
(Scott:
That reminds me; I think I *HAVE* heard of a worm that can execute
withOUT an email needing to be opened... perhaps that's what he was
thinking of.
