Why is it that none of the information releases from the antivirus vendors
have mentioned this?

As a test I just sent myself an E-mail with a .vbs file attached.  When the
message was opened in the Outlook 98 preview pane the message body was
displayed along with the standard attachment indicator.  When I clicked on
the attachment and selected it to open I then got an error from the VBS
compiler (it was a bogus file since I don't have a real VBS script handy).
