Yes! You can get infected in OE depending on your settings/version
without opening the attachment.

"7). Some viruses can infect your computer if you view the email
message. In other words, this can happen even if you don't open an
attachment. However, this is only a problem with certain versions of
Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. If you do not have the latest
versions of these programs, you may want to download the latest
versions from www.microsoft.com. If you are running Windows ME or
later versions of the Microsoft operating system, you should be ok if
you are using Outlook Express."
