I shall be keeping Outlook as I cannot stand any of the other ones I have tried. If you do not open any dodgy attachments then you should be safe, and that goes for all email programs. Also I cannot stand the way Microsoft think that all of its users are all stupid simpletons, and blocking the attachments for them and giving them no way to turn it off in the options box without downloading additional software.

That said, that page contained loads of useful thing to switch off the attachment blocking so thanks the link

EDIT: Ok found one that may help. Under "Mail Format" Tab in the options menu you can specify to view in "Rich Text" and there is also an option to change how it treats content linked from webpages too.

Think I got round the "attachment" problems by having set to allow attachments in Outlook express and then imported the settings from Outlook Express to Outlook so that might work for you too.

Isn't that for how you write messages?

It's a fairly bizarre setup - I run Outlook Express 5 & IE5 on Windows 2000 with Word, Access, Excel, Powerpoint and Frontpage 2000 and Publisher & Outlook XP.
