Kelly, I don't know where you get your information. Outlook 2000 (and I believe XP) not only will not launch executables, they will permanently and irretrievably be quarantined (automatically). You just get a message saying that the email contains a "potentially unsafe attachment" that has been blocked. You can't launch an executable in Outlook even if you try. Maybe you're thinking about Outlook Express, but I don't see why they would have removed that "safety feature" for the lite version. This "feature" is actually a pain, and I wish I could turn it off, but there is no way. I have a friend who used to do 2nd-level support at Microsoft, and she looked into it for me. There are at least a half-dozen file extensions that are automatically quarantined. It is for the good of the people.
