 It should be OFF by default. Think about how Installation scripts default to DON'T ACCEPT so the user has to take an action that signifies taking the risk. That is one of those system designer decisions where the designer is wise in the ways of the culture and does the right thing in the best interest of the customer and the community at large. If all we have to do to slow this down is get MS to set it off by default, that seems like a low cost high yield proposition. Dang if it is that easy (is it?), I would think someone would have reacted to Gate's security memo to his guys with a simple raised hand saying, "Heck, we could just set the default to Off in Outlook?" It won't solve the whole problem but some progress is progress. len -----Original Message----- From: Arjun Ray [mailto:aray@n...] "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@i...> wrote: | Now why not turn that feature off given the disasters created | by leaving it on? Because the entire point of a non-feature is to have it turned on by default. This maximizes the propagation of stupidity.
