Hi, Joe

Whenever I get an e-mail from an unknown source in Outlook, I highlight the message, go to "File/Save As" and save the message as a .txt file in a temp folder on my hard drive (I called mine "Holding"). I run a virus check on it before opening the file (practicing a "belt and suspenders" sort of caution), then open it in Notepad so I can view the raw contents (pun intended in the case of unsolicited XXX materials). If it's something I don't want, I delete the .txt file in my Holding folder and blow out the unopened message in Outlook. (Also, I never use the Preview Pane in Outlook anymore, as it allows HTML files to execute simply by highlighting the message line.)

Hope this helps.
