Re this particular nasty - the problem is with the MS Word processing so as long as you don't use MS word to open the documents - yes ( remember you may have OE set to call upon MS Word to open all sorts of 'attachments', not just those with a type of .doc)
There is a /safe option on ms word to allow it to view things more safely, and better still are the viewers for word excel powerpoint and visio But remember there are also nasties that simply need you to click on a message if your OE is set to preview the messages If in doubt - save as and then open notepad then use the open within notepad to view the file contents from wherever you saved it to JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Bishop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 1:52 PM Subject: Re: Software: Microsoft Security Advisory (919637) > Am I correct that Outlook Express is not vulnerable UNLESS I open an > attachment? > > Mike > > -- > ---------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? > http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html > If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
