Preview Pane vulnerability
I am under the impression that leaving the Preview Pane open is making it
easier for a virus to infect my computer. I would like to hear anyone's thoughts on this. Stan

Preview Pane vulnerability
Viewing a message in the preview pane is the same as opening it in its
own window. The vast majority of e-mail virus infections occur by the user manually opening an attachment that is the virus. As for other potential infections, make sure that OE is set to the Restricted Zone (Tools, Options, Security). Also you can set OE to Read All Messages In Plain Text (Tools, Options, Read). (For a quick workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H) Check with Windows Update for the latest security updates. They generally come out the second Tuesday of the month, -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Stan" wrote in message . ..
