Does anyone know if microsoft.com provides a free version of "OutLook"
with VB-scripting that runs on Win95?
A month or two back I hacked up a script to run vmware on attachments
in a `sandbox' environment. I'd love to add "LookOut / VBscript" to my
sandbox to run these things! (But I tell ya, I was mighty damn
disappointed with that "Snowhite + 7 dwarfs" thingie... And I likely will
be with AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs as well! ;-)
