I think the point is, Entourage and OE don't use VBA so they themselves
cannot spread a Visual Basic virus. Open an virused attachment into Word or
Excel and then you're in trouble.
(in some cases, at least under Office 97/98, the PC and Mac use different
commands, such as the find-files command, so whether a VBA virus will even
work on the Mac is hit or miss)
