I've encountered another couple of cases where the security settings folder
just didn't work in OL2002, but no cause that we can put our finger on. I'd
try a new Outlook profile and make sure I start Outlook twice before
testing.

FWIW, if I were the client, I wouldn't be real happy with easing the
security settings like that. If your program can work with addresses and
send mail, so can a virus.
