Don't get lulled into a false sense of security.  Any email program can
be vulnerable.  Heck, they found a remotely-exploitable hole in *Pine*
recently, of all things!

But, the plain fact is very few viruses have taken advantage of specific
bugs in Outlook anyway.  Most people are getting infected the old
fashioned way -- by opening attachments.  The problem here isn't
Outlook, it's user stupidity.
