Why would you ever run Declude on messages for unknown users? Even

Try running Black ICE on the server. It does a pretty decent job of

It's valid but extremely uncommon to have quotes in an address (used

It's MUCH more secure than 2000 because many services are not enabled by

This sounds like it could be solved by setting up a

Change the MIME type in IIS to something that isn't text or otherwise
displayable in the browser window. I would guess that choosing an
application type would be best, and on your own system, make sure that
you don't set up something like a text application to automatically
open the extension.
