Not necessary. If you use IE 5 or IE 6 it caches a lot of
information which can be extracted by some clever javascript. Also,
becasue IE is so closely integrated into Windows, it has access to a
lot of information that more secure designs do not.
Also some simple VB script in an Outlook email can extract and resend
an amazing amount of information.
