It may if the message is in HTML and has and uses exploit code.

David,

Thanks, Just the answer I needed. You confirmed my suspicions. Sorry
about the second email "Take 2". Wasn't sure I would be understood.

If you mean viewing an infected e-mail in Outlook Express's preview
pane, then yes it is dangerous to you, especially if your system is not
fully patched. Perhaps you should consider using a more secure email client.

Hi Max.

So if I use a different email client such as Thunderbird, and I do not
use HTML for email, would it be safe to view emails is the preview pane?
