No Outlook here, either. But this one doesn't seem to be an issue of "downloading and opening random executables," so it's tough to blame the victim (a popular game in certain quarters).

"Unlike most worms, which are self-propagating computer viruses, Badtrans does not require someone to click on and open up the attachment to infect the machine. Just reading or previewing the e-mail executes the worm, experts said."

JMHO.
