you may check it before sending... but can the average person trust others to do the same? Also, if it's a stealth exploit, you may not know you are infected for days.
Outlook 98 is the least safe of all versions- if you aren't using chilton preview, start now. This allows you to easily read all email in plain text and if you get a message you trust and want to see in HTML, it's easy enough to open it or switch on the native preview. http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/peaks/8392/ As for urls - outlook (any version) is bad about breaking them, which makes tiny's more popular. Always include the original with the tiny so people can choose which to click or always send long url using HTML formatted messages (except to lists :)).
