I would have agreed with you years ago, but we live in different times. I think that the benefits far outweigh the risks, especially if you are using security software and keeping it updated, as well as keeping Windows updated.

Please keep in mind that displaying your messages in HTML is less secure then displaying them in plain text.

This way, when the e-mail is in plain text, you don't have files that might be viruses being activated, or beacons being triggered for fishing e-mails.

I, for one, would not rely on my anti-virus, especially since I'm using the free one by Microsoft, to completely secure my computer, so I take every precaution.

If you find this is only happening a fraction of the time, in other words, you're mostly copying links to send space, or something like that, it's best to leave it in plain text, and if there's a link you have to click on to go view a product, let's say, press the keystroke of alt+shift+H, this will switch the e-mail into HTML, and keep the rest of your e-mails secure.

Just a thought.

Go into your Options in Outlook Express and make sure you have messages set
to be displayed in HTML, not plain-text.

Go to Options, Read tab, and make sure the box to read messages in
plain-text is not checked.
