Not completely. The big issue with Outlook is that it uses
Internet Explorer to render. It is POSSIBLE [1] to plant
virus or worms in a computer using media imbeds and attachments
with the outlook client. It is also possible to grab the user's
address book from within outlook, so Norton, etc. can't stop
this.
[1] Most of this can be stopped by common sense, namely don't
allow Active X from anything but trusted sites, and never
directly open an attachment.
And although it is possible to hit a computer using mp3
files, don't know of any non-lab incidents.

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
Well yes, but Moon isn't a verb in those instances. And, there no film at
eleven, so who cares?

Well, I wouldn't go QUITE that far <g>. I rarely use anything but the
browser simply because I still use mostly OS/2. There I use a news
reader that I have yet to see equalled (ProNews/2, for which I also
have the source code and CVS repository access) and I'm a whole lot
happier with the LAN functionality and security than with what I get
from Win-whatever. I use a Java email client that is free and
actively supported so I don't need Mozilla for that. Linux would give
equivilant LAN functionality - same BSD-derived stack - but OS/2 paid
the bills for a lot of years so that's what is installed. It ain't
broke so...
I should look at Forte again; I've heard good things about it.

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
I have never heard of accents in the UK as being called "British" in
Britain. I have heard only foreigners using this term.
Maybe I missed something, but I don't think I have a "British accent."

Re: Jeep thing or sheep thing?
Since Daimler is a German name, it would seem to me that that is the
"correct" way to pronounce it. How does one pronounce "Jaguar," by the way?
