Hello;

I have just read,(outside these MS Newsgroups), one can
initiate virus infection by just clicking on a piece of e-
mail in Outlook Express...you do not have to open an
attachment on some inbound e-mail, according to the
article. I am a novice and could not follow the thread of
the argument.Is this true? It sounds false to me from what
I have learned in this security Newsgroup. Did I miss this
warning? I admit being somewhat paranoid about viuses, and
very paranoid about worms. Hopefully, you will excuse me
for posting any false alarm.
