You don't have to open an attachment to get infected with a virus in the 21 century. That was last century. If you are using outlook than they can spread the virus thorugh the preview pane which basically means that you get the virus automatically.
This issue is the greatest concern. We have stable operating systems now but we do not have operating systems that protect people from virii.
Switch to Eudora or some other email client. OE is crap and the main reason why people get viruses.
I'm currently waiting for an email, but i'll look into other options soon. I was thinking of using hotmail but I could try Eudora.
i havn' tgot a virus from hotmail yet...
>i havn' tgot a virus from hotmail yet.
All atachments are scanded from virus. Funny though they use Macfe (I belive) witch is free, not notron witch cost monney but is better. (or so I have heard)
BTW I love hotmail exept for that banner they put on the top of web pages when you click a link in your email, but I hate outlook.
get Juno. it is great.

how very true.
Yahoo mail shiits all over hotmail. 6Mb from Y! 1.44Mb from MS. Plus it also has a virus scanner, junk mail and heaps of other features.

LEARN.
Preview is a feature. If it's dangerous, SHUT IT OFF !!!
If you don't like scripting in your emails, SHUT IT OFF !!!
How can you dare call a tool crap if you don't learn to use it ???
I do dare!
Then you will have to either take the risk, or use inferior tools.
Your decision.
No, I'm not going to use inferior tools. That's to be sure. Kirk!!!
Then you will have to learn... no matter what tool you use, if you
want to use it's full potential, you will have to learn to use it.
Kirk?????
Everybody repeat after me
Outlook and Outlook Express are scum, scum, scum!
Hotmail is one of the better web based mail systems and i only use it so i can access it wherever i am, home or uni. Due to security restrictions we cant setup the mail clients to check other pop addresses, though i am trying to get round the admin.
As far as mail clients go i love pegasus, its free, easy and a very good program.
