[ale] FW: [ISN] Microsoft Outlook patch delayed again

[BHa at ixl.com]

It is worse than that.

After the ILOVEYOU fiasco, a couple days later, I had seen experienced 
and good developers mindlessly opened their e-mails infected with the SAME 
virus again.  They screamed bloody again, but we, Pine users, just shaked
our head in disbelief.

No! A warning is not enough!  I want the ability to turn off the execution
of my e-mail attachements.

Anyway, Java applets could be good multimedia atachements.  Browsers
already have built-in security controls.  Any thought on that?

Does Outlook always warn that it's about to run untrusted code when clicking
on .vbs files (or other types)?  Or only if it's modified from the default
installation?
