[dba-Tech] Outlook question

In a recent blog, I showed the readers how to disable the automatic "read" 
setting -- you know how Outlook bolds messages until they're "read?"

So, there's a simple setting that still allows you to view the message in 
the Reader Pane, but doesn't unbold the message header.

Well, I've got a couple of readers who are claiming that this "automatically 
opens" the message and allows viruses in.

They might be right, but I admit I'm confused. Anyone know what they're 
talking about?
