Dick,
The alert you sent as a JPG is for Active-X control, NOT a script, AND
it is from a different message than Earl appeared to be talking about.
I got the same warning message as you show from that email message,
again different than Earl's reference.
But further review shows that yes, there is a script attached to the
email Earl is talking about, In my Outlook 2000, it doesn't run when
I view the message, but try's to kick off only when I open the
message, so I missed it.
NOTE: Everyone should understand that the fact that an Active-X
control is listed as unsafe doesn't mean it contains a virus or
anything. It only means that the control is unsigned. Microsoft and
Windows on its own doesn't have any way of telling whether an Active-X
control contains a virus or not or does anything underhanded. You
need some sort of virus scanning software or a firewall scanner to do
that.
And Dick (re: any past "corrections"): Sorry you are still carrying
that weight on your shoulders. But it was because you were wrong <g>.
