RE: [ OT] Special security Alert!

[Jim Davis]

It's easy, turn off the Auto Preview and then don't open messages that have titles like "RE: movie" from people you don't know that you didn't send a message titled "movie" to in the first place. :) There are ways to disable HTML email in Outlook, although they may be above the general user's head a company's IT staff could at least take There seems to be little reason to disable HTML email if virus protection is your goal. Instead you should simply prevent active content from running. This is easily done (and is the default in later versions) by adding outlook mail to the "Restricted" Internet Zone. You do this in the "Security" settings of Outlook. This, of course, won't help those that open attachements or lack virus protection - but it does prevent active content from running in HTML messages.
