The payload may be stripped, but the exploit is still contained in the HTML code of the e-mail. The media player loads, but there is nothing to run. You need to apply the Microsoft patch for IE that removes the vulnerability.

If the virus is being stripped, how is it able to open Windows Media Player?? I can't seem to find an answer with either McAfee or Symantec.
