I don't understand. I use Outlook Express from W98 FE. I never changed
defaults. Attachments are marked by a clip. When you click the clip, a small
windows appears, and you can select either to run any of the attachments, or
save them, but never an attachment is executed without you having clicked
it.
Regards.
