  I use win nt (and solaris via exceed (win nt X server)) and the script
caused some error in internet explorer. I don't see any damage (but I did
not really checked anything, just ran the antivirus, the system works fine
for now)...

  anyway, this prompted me to turn of all java/javascript/activeX etc
features in outlook... feel better now.
