We have encountered not a patch but a Microsoft utility that can,
incrementally, remove one or all of the security settings in Outlook. It is
called the Outlook Security Administrative Package, contained in a file "
admpack.e_x_e_ "
on the Office XP resource kit CD or Enterprise editions of MS Office.
We too have a legacy program that sends internal e-mails for notification
puposes. Starting with SP1 of Outlook 2000 and up to the present Outlook
2003, these e-mails cause Outlook to throw up warnings (at least 2 per
e-mail) that must be "OK'd" before the e-mail could be openned.
BUT: Beware the serious implications of shutting down security functions,
filters. Microsoft put those things in there for very obvious and painful
reasons.
