I'm going to step out on a limb here, for Paul's side.  Though its true 
what Jay says that if you open a diseased Doc, you are diseased with 
either email client.  However, there are a lot more MS Macro viruses that 
go a round and OE will hand those off to WORD far more effectively than 
Emailer.

So, in reality, both statements are true when you are specific, but as 
general statements, they can be seen as partially inacurrate.
