Can someone help me understand how Outlook 98 works, as far as
receiving email goes?

something that's too wacky for words.  In essence, they say that
a "hacker" can cause an email attachment (say, an executable) to
be placed in the startup group.  (Why not other places as well?)

Is it just that the *user* can set up auto-routing, so that certain
files can be placed anywhere the *user* chooses?  And thus, if the
user is crazy enough to automatically route an email attachment to
their startup group, they are literally begging for trouble?

It just doesn't make sense to me.
