This is an exploit that has been going on for years and years. As early as IE 5.5

MS have never fixed it because they claim it's a problem with their Outlook client not with IE.

Ummmmm....fix that then!!

Well, that is a surprise Fancy IE being vulnerable

It still relies too heavily on ActiveX, which is a hackers welcome mat. If the truth be known, Vista will get compromised on day one of general release.
