if the preview pane is closed, you should be ok... but why do you want it on
a floppy? just delete it... also, www.antivirus.com has a scanner for
outlook, if you reason for moving it to floppy is to scan it. (you would be
just as safe to drop it on the desktop and scan - as long as it's not
executed, you are safe)
