In addition to Bruce's good advice, you should strongly consider reading
your email in plain text. You lose all that nice HTML formatting and the
graphics but you'll gain much more security-wise.

In Outlook Express go to Tools Options Read tab and place a check
mark in 'Read all messages in plain text.' You'll still be able to
choose individual messages to read with HTML, and you would do that if
you know that the sender intended to mail you with that Subject line and
with HTML formatting.

Occasionally, when I open an OE mail message, I get the following dialog
box:
*********************************
Internet Explorer Script Error

An error has occurred in the script on this page:

Line: 7
Char: 10
Error: Expected '.'
Code: 0
URL: mhtml:mid://00000009/

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page Y/N?
*************************************

If I click N, the email seems to open normally.

What's going on?
