This is a BAD sign. Malicious emails try to SCRIPT their way onto your computer and cause damage. Such emails should be considered dangerous, never to be viewed, opened or PREVIEWED. Be sure to turn off the PREVIEW so you can delete them safely.

I am running Win-Xp HE OS using IE 6.0 and OE 6.0 as my browser/e-mail client. When I click on some e-mail messages received, I get the following Error Message:
Internet Explorer Script Error
An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 31
Char. 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL: mhtml,mid://00000010/
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
What is my problem and how do I correct it?
Thanks,
