One... ignore the Outlook client and use Outlook Web Access to get at the mailbox. Two... use the Windows Messaging client from the Exchange disk. No Preview Pane to worry about.
Three... use an IMAP client to connect to the mailbox... preferably one without support for active content. -----Original Message----- From: aci [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 12:24 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: VIRUS HELL!!!! ...help? TIA--- I am looking for a bit of help on the antivirus problems I am having today. Today there seems to be heavy virus activity regarding email with an attachment "decrypt-password.exe" These files are being blocked at the exchange gateway. Only the "alert.txt message comes through with the original email. However, there must be some form of embedded VB script in the body of the message. As the message hits the inbox, it somehow enables the "Preview pane" on the inbox, makes this message always be the first message and runs the script. What I am looking for is some way to disable the preview pane (before opening outlook) so that I can click on the inbox and delete the message. I do not want to add the "security patch" to outlook, as this is not an option currently. Does anyone know of a reg-hack where I can disable the preview pane for Outlook??? Please let me know any and all ideas. \ BIG THANKS! aci List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
