It is true. Some are written as Visual Basic Scripts and included within the email. 
With those types all you 
have to do to enact it is, (1), have VB scripting turned on, and (2), use a 
"brain-dead" email client like 
Outlook Express. With some of them, just using the "Preview Pane" is enough to lanuch 
them.

Some people have _way_ too much time on their hands......
