Hi,

How do I prevent executing scripts (primary VBScript) and ActiveX controls
from being executed in the preview pane of Outlook 2000? Is there a policy
that can be set?

Workstations are a mix of Win98SE, Win2K and WinXPP. All run Office 2000 SP2
(Dutch).

I've seen this working on an Exchange 2003 Server with webmail. That warns a
user about the possible dangers of malicious code, HTML only messages,
images etc.

Code won't execute in the preview pane or in HTML format messages in that
version of Outlook. But you need to make sure that you keep Internet
Explorer up-to-date on patches. That's the main source of HTML
vulnerabilities -- see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/htmlmail.htm

Also get the March 9, 2004 Outlook 2000 security patch or Office XP SP3 when
they become available for your language version.
