A critical drag-and-drop security risk in OE/IE was recently revealed.
Microsoft's interim advice was to disable drag and drop.
If you have auto updates, my guess is that they've probably now issued a
patch to disable the drag and drop function.
There's always a risk with auto updates that you're suddenly going to lose
some function or other in either IE or OE. A good reason to use more
secure browsers and emailers.
The security threat only applies to these 2 programs.
