Since the virus topic was touched I'd like to ask a question here.
Forgive me if is too stupid.

People are adviced "to not open" messages to avoid getting infected by a
virus.

Like many of them I use MS Outlook express.
What does it actually mean "OPEN A MESSAGE" in case of MS Outlook ?

Once message is highlighted in the messages list, outlook shows it content
in a right hand bottom panel. Whatever is there (eg.animation) immediately
start actioning.  I suppose some ActiveX based virus could do too ?

I do not even know how to "delete the message immediatelly without opening
it" - another advice around. To delete the message I have to select it, once
selected it gets shown.

In MS Outlook express I do not see the difference between specifically
opening the message (ie. double clicking it to bring up a separate window)
or simple highlighting it in the list.

Can somebody pour some light on all this please.

Once again sorry for taking space here if I am the only one who is
illiterate in this field.

Alex
