Viewing the offending message in Google reveals that it's not a virus (at
least).

Following is what was done. The < and > brackets around the html parts have
been change to square brackets to avoid doing this all over again:

| [input type crash]
| begin You guys are so dumb!

That's all that's there folks!

cheeky wee ****er

JavaScript code in the message causes Outlook to crash, but not Netscape
By the looks of it it supposed to crash IE with a message "You guys are so
dumb!"

Interesting. I have html rendering turned off and the message still crashed
OE when I tried to preview it. An automatic error message was sent to
Microsoft. I imagine they'll be getting a lot of those over the next few
days.

Thanks, Everyone.. I needed an explanation of how that was done because I am
limited in my knowledge of code writing and further believed this might be
another Microsoft Hotfix gone bad affecting OE.. I had just downloaded 2 and
winced as i did so, hoping I was not making a mistake. I.E. 811493 or 439
whatever it was.

A little Programmers joke? Someone flourishing his Java Jive?.....I learn
something every day on the Internet.
Whew!
