There are many alternative Window$ email clients that are well designed and with security in mind, and do not ever cause any of the problems associated with Outlook and OE. Also there are several alternative Window$ browsers that do not help to trigger viruses like MSIE does. As for those who like to do Window$, I simply cannot understand why they don't just dump OE and Outlook and MSIE and install some alternative Window$ apps that are noted for being much more secure than the Micro$oft products. Of alternative Windows email apps, the Window$ versions of PINE are probably among the most secure. Also the built-in email client that comes with the Opera browser is known to be very secure. Despite the well-known high security risks of using OE and Outlook and MSIE, many corporate offices and government offices and even the US Armed Forces use these very bad Micro$oft products. I cannot understand why. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
