I say that it *is* Outlook at fault, for *RUNNING UNTRUSTED EXECUTABLES* from
the mail area. I mean, Java pointed out the need for a sandbox over 3 years
ago, and Outlook still allowed *FULL ACCESS TO ALL PARTS OF THE MACHINE*
Sure, the people who clicked on the .vbs are slow, but M$ makes much hay out of
being the 'innovator', so why didn't Outlook have this safety feature?
