>Is there any security/privacy risk in enabling the preview pane in
Microsoft
>Outlook and Outlook Express even when latest patches are installed?
I'd say yes, because it's still unsecured even with the latest round of
patches. Now Outlook 2003's preview pane won't download images or render
script, unless you turn it on. For that I'd still say no, but I've been
testing it out and haven't had a problem yet. I just use Auto Preview in
Outlook, work ok and renders in plain text.
