i made the change and i don't even use outlook! lol! but the cnet article did say something about the ie browser (and not just the email client) being impacted, so i determined that i needed to make that adjustment. like you, i believe a lot of features would have to be inoperable before i would raise up my head and say 'hey!'. i am using ie5.0 more frequently now than ever before. particularly for espn java applet stuff that was absolutely wrecking netscape. :) mark

re 'losing advanced features'... this from the 5/8 langalist: "Some people are recommending that you disable scripting in your browser and on your system as a way to defeat these worms/viruses. That works, but also has many other side effects. For example, a number of anti-virus apps depend on scripts to update themselves; and many, many web sites use scripting too. Turning of scripting can help you avoid one kind of worm/virus, but can end up causing you a world of hassle and grief elsewhere." we shall see what will be. easy enough to change back :) mark
