RE: Yet another reason not to use IE! Old news ?

[Barrie Dempster <barrie () reboot-robot net>]

Hi Allan,

"X-Message:  This could be an Outlook virus! Are you sure you want to
continue using Outlook?"

It was this header in the message that caused it, Outlook will display
these messages for you quite helpfully, it is used to show you just how
intrusive the program can be, looks like it worked.
