That is what you said. In other words, it does not make any mail agent less prone than the other.
The problem with viral attacks through email is usually due to human error and not the mail software. It is not any more than that, and not any less.
If you want to be safe in Outlook Express, do not open any attachments ... plain and simple. If you have an itchy clicking finger, then do this in your options:
Go to the menu
Tools > Options .... This will open up a dialog box ... click on the
Security Tab. Set it up just like I have in this image grab.
Educate the people to do this very simple thing, and they can have all the safety (with due caution) as much as any other mail agent.
