Don't open them. If you don't open them, they won't hurt you. If you've opened
one and Outlook Express locks up, kill Outlook Express, start it back up, and
don't read the message again. (I discovered this bug because I received with
Outlook Express a double bounce message with an address like the one I posted
in it. In the course of trying to nail down exactly what triggered the bug I
sent myself half a dozen messages which locked me up. At no time was my client
"pretty much fucked." I just killed it, started it back up, and deleted the
message.)
If you're using Windows, you should be used to it locking up for no apparent
reason and you should know how to deal with it. It comes with the territory.
