Perhaps a poor choice of words, there. Some folks use Outlook (or other
VBS-enabled e-mail program) with a "preview" window. That means that the
VBS script can run as soon as they click on the message, even if they
*don't* open the attachment.
Moreover, it doesn't matter what you're subscribed to - it only matters if
your address is in somebody's address book when they get the virus. And
your e-mail address may have been passed in a forwarded message, or sent by
a third party - no telling where they got your e-mail address from.
The best defense is an updated virus protection package.
