[thelist] Outlook Secutiry Updates (was "Avoiding Scripting Viruses")

Microsoft has posted patches to its Outlook and Exchange families of
products:

"Updates to Outlook 97, Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000 are available that make
it more difficult to inadvertently launch attachments. The updates provide a
more explicit warning dialogue, and prevent attached executables from being
launched directly from e-mails; instead, they must be saved to disk and
launched as a separate step. The update also is included as part of Office
2000 SR1."

Get `em while they're hot:
