Re: VIRUS ALERT!
Sorry about the vague term, "autoexecute". I don't think this word is
actually used in any email client. Just meant it as a generalization...
In addition the other suggestions people have posted, I believe you may
also need to turn off "Use Javascript" in Internet Options in Control
Panel, or OE will execute Javascript in a message. The hassle of this is
that you've just turned off Javascript in IE as well.
Feel free to correct me on this, as I don't use OE. But I'm sure I
remember an AV alert recommending this action.
