etc. etc. Have to end the quoted material here so that this message

Does anyone know if this code posted by Joseph will prevent the Bagle.Q
virus from infecting machines running an unpatched version of Outlook/IE?
I realize that modifying the object tag will disarm the virus in message
parts of type text/html, but I seem to recall that Outlook will interpret
HTML constructs in plain text messages with a single non MIME body part,
and if that is the case then the code won't help prevent infection.
Does anyone know if Outlook will act on HTML constructs in non HTML
messages?
