Using Win2000Pro, McAfee AV
and Pegasus Mail
(http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_winpmail.htm),
there is no problem.
There is a registry hack (documented
on the MS KB)
that turns Outlook XP into a plain text only emailer.
From a guy I know that is MS
security obsessive:
---excerpt---
| Outlook can also be tamed by ZoneAlarm
Pro. I limit Outlook's access
| strictly to ports 25 and 110 so
it can't browse Web pages. Preview pane
| is turned off in the Inbox but the
three-line display mode is more
| useful anyway.
|
| This is the registry fix that does
the magic. It requires Office XP/SP1
| to be installed:
|
| REGEDIT4
| [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office
\10.0\Outlook\Options\Mail] "ReadAsPlain"=dword:00000001
|
| I don't know why they didn't simply
put it under Tools/Options in the
| menu system.
...
---end---
The "problem" of course
is that many M$-weenie users
don't know how to make their system resistant to
virii, not that it can't be done fairly easily. Those
kind of people are obviously not going suffer through
installing linux either.
