Hello, Berend-Jan Wever!

Oh! Thanks, God!

Good that nobody has hit upon an idea until now about exploiting this to 
launch self-spreading mail virus without user interaction by putting 
iframe into HTML message body: this hole is exploitable even in 
restricted zone and millions of OE and Outlook lemmings would be doomed.

Such thought visited me nearly right away when I had known this issue.
