>The larger concern is not just about me - these UI-messages leave me with the distinct feeling that someone up to no good could do serious damage by automatically commandeering an OS like these things appear to. I'll have to save the next one as a text file to examine, also...

Just yesterday, someone I work with received the AnnaKourvi[something].jpg.vbs virus. His first reaction was to ask me if it was a virus. Then he asked me if it was dangerous to open the message (not the attachement). I told him that if his email program just ran attachements without warning, those who made that application were stupid, and he should just throw it out the window.

I'm starting to think that Outlook and OE are stupid applications. Maybe I should start looking for another one, or even better, reinstall my Delphi 3 and do one myself! :)
