I meant that for wahaha123 you would want to first turn off the Preview pane before clicking on the email to delete it. This goes for any known address or other email you don't want to get a chance to display/execute when you try and delete it. I always turn my Preview pane back on after doing the deletion. The way security zones are currently handled, they are pretty pointless. If you update your Security settings, it applies to any program using Security Zones, including IE and if IE can't run scripts and controls, many of the sites you visit would be broken. Unless you specifically add a site to the Restricted Zone, it wouldn't use those settings; if I saw reason to actually add a site to the Restricted Zones list I wouldn't ever bother to visit that site again anyway. For most people the security zone that is in use is the Internet Zone, because they don't go in and make additions to each zone, though they may have gotten additions from their system administrators if they work in a corporate environment. ka "franc|um" <cybermartin@hotmail.com.kill.spammers> wrote in message news:8himvn$31u3@imsp212.netvigator.com... > The best method is NOT by turning off the preview pane.
