"Auto-activating" messages

Fobotcso,

And how about that new scourge, a Spam e-mail that, when you highlight it in the folder contents, immediately goes on-line and tries to log you onto a Web Site of the sender's choice? Any Defence against that? Important for anyone who isn't on unlimited time; and anyway it's really irritating!

Sounds like you might not have all the M$ security patches installed, some of which prevent this kind of "auto-activation". You don't say which version of LookOut/IE you are using, but try checking out:-

http://office.microsoft.com/download.../Out98sec.aspx

The latter page has links for Office/LookOut 2000/XP

HTH,
