And on the 'READ' tab, there is a box you can select to 'show messages in plain text only' because way to many people think that if there is no virus attatched, it is safe.
This is how Hijackers get control these days, once you open a page in an 'html' viewer, or browser, script can run that redirects you to a page that downloads and isstall trojans - before you can blink twice.

This is one area where OE is more vulnerable, but it won't last long anymore. Hackers/crackers/scammers/virus writers, they are starting to target everyone else.

So, don't even open an email PERIOD in OE, unless you have it in text mode, or you are not trigger happy LOL
