That's interesting. I'm sure DOS doesn't supply that message.
I've assumed those messages were always in the body of the program, and
have SEEN them when viewing the programs with browse.
This means that not only is Outlook Express as wide open as the barn door,
even someone that really doesn't know how to write a program by themselves
(i.e. without the use of supplied libraries) can make a worm.
My opinion of the technical abilities of these exploiters and virus writers
in general has just taken a big hit. <g>
