RE: Outlook 2007: one step forward, two steps back?

["Richard M. Smith" <rms () computerbytesman com>]

Actually, as email readers go, Outlook has been relatively secure since
about 2000 when JavaScript was turned off by default and executable
attachments were blocked.  Outlook 2003 added an image blocker and spam
filter.  Outlook 2007 was also immune to the recent ANI problem.

PS.  Does PINE automatically block executable attachments in incoming email
messages?

Of course, your question suggests you care, so that begs the question of why
_ANYONE_ with half a concern for security and usability issues would ever
choose to use OL for their MUA in the first place.
