These 3 headers identify this e-mail message as plain text ASCII. No HTML
e-mail here that can possibly cause problems. This piece of "spam" would
pass through and into any e-mail program unless you had some type of "spam"
filtering on.
The ONLY half-baked security you can get in OE are from patches that MS
supplies after they have a serious problem discovered. Your best bet is a
good v*rus scanner program. I used to suggest turning off VB Scripting but
this causes too many other problems for most OE users.
Next best thing you can do is to filter your e-mail and pass this "junk"
directly to the "trash" bin or a "spam" folder that you can review at your
leisure.
You could create a New Mail Rule using the "you " in the Subject line. I
don't know what the body contained but you could use whatever keyword is in
the body of the message that uniquely identifies it. I would use "click on
this link to be removed" or "this is not spam but ...". You could also use
the Sender.
