So Wyatt, I think I'm beginning to understand: are you saying there is no way
to disable HTML in Outlook Express, that is why you use a different mail
program? And that's the reason OE is so vulnerable, because of it's inability
to disable html? And what is the mail program you use? I'm going to get a
cable connection and am trying to do everything I can for security since I'll
be "online" all the time. Maybe that isn't such a good idea... Glo

The scripts can still run if HTML is enabled. They do nit come as
attachments, they are imbedded in the HTML code of the messages. If you
don't use HTML mail, you can eliminate a very large number of threats.
On 6/6/2003 at 4:44 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as
TechRose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx was rumoured to have uttered....
| Hi all...
|
| In OE...under tools, options, security
|
| Under virus protection
| there is a box to check about not allowing attachments
| or things
| that might be a virus.....
|
| With that checked.. I think the scripts do not run....
|
| Also, the choice above would be good to check.. to notify you
| if
| applications are trying to send mail as me.
|
| That would be pretty limiting... Maybe that is what you are
| looking for...
|
| Hugs,
| Rose
