There is probably reason to fret. You're probably reading them in OE in
plain text. Open OE, click on tools, options, and on the read tab. The box
is probably selected - did your PC recently update itself with automatic
updates? Anyhow, you can untick it but don't say I didn't warn you - doing
so exposes you to the risks of loading files due to various exploits in IE
as the rendering engines are, for the most part, the same. Email is easy to
exploit and often exploited. If this is the actual problem then I'd leave it
just like it is and if there's a TRUSTED source who's included rich text
formatted content then I'd press ALT + SHIFT + H to read that one email in
HTML format.
