This check determines the security level for the following zones in Microsoft Outlook 2002, Outlook 2000, and Outlook 98 on a user-by-user basis:
Most e-mail programs allow users to include HTML content (such as Web pages) within their e-mail messages. While this can be convenient, it can also be a security risk. Outlook allows you to set security levels so that you can protect your system from any harmful script that might be embedded in a Web page.
Note: Zones that have Custom settings may be more secure than the recommended settings in the tool. While the tool will report that custom settings are used for each zone, it cannot determine whether these settings are more secure than the recommended setting.
Note: You must have Internet Explorer 4.01 or later to use this feature.
