In Outlook Express version 6 SP1, Microsoft finally bowed to popular request and provided a facility so that all emails can be shown in text only mode. This prevents almost all of the nasty tricks used by virus writers and hackers from executing. Of course you give up pretty emails, but who cares, almost all of those are SPAM anyway. Setting it to display in text only is a truly excellent security tip. This is how you set it: In Outlook Express version 6, drop down the Tools menu and select Options. Then select the tab called Read and put a tick in "Read all messages in Plain Text" If the option is not present then you have not yet upgraded to SP1 (= Service Pack 1) Then do enough OKs to get back to normal screens. ====== You still need to be careful about Attachments of course, that is a different matter. The Golden rules are: [b][red]Never[/red] open an attachment unless it arrives (a) from someone you know (b) you were expecting it as a result of earlier valid communications with the sender. If you get an unexpected attachment contact the sender to verify that it was really him/her that sent it and that it is safe to open. Beware of fake emails that seem to come from Microsoft or Anti-Virus Companies or Credit Card companies etc.[/b] Bill. Revised on 31 May 2003
