I use Pegasus Mail (under Windows), and am pretty confident this 
removes me from the Outlook security problems.  The problem is that 
most of the world seems to use Outlook and todays experience seems to 

indicate they are spreading this rubbish like there's no tomorrow.  I 

have seen the light, unfortunately you will never convince the rest 
of the world.

I have Linux on my machine (dual boot) but rarely use it.  Some of my 

essential business software is only available for Windows.  So I have 

to use WIndows for most of my work, but use virtually nothing else 
from the MS camp (Opera for browsing, Pegasus for email, Star Office 
for documents).

ps.  I tried sending this to Steve direct, but his 'inthebin' email 
address bounced straight back..... In the mean time several more 
copies of Bugbear received, this one looks like it is going to be a 
real nuisance.
