Because the default is to open the attachment. Outlook Express and
Explorer and the MS suite has had this security vulnerablility for
how many years? Have they really fixed it? No. I don't have a problem
with these viri since I use Eudora and it doesn't automagically talk
to the OS about magically installing software or running apps with
out my specific input to do so. People that use other less "gifted"
apps don't have this problem either.
