FYI

The security updates added to SP3 are consistent with those in Outlook 2003, with one exception: COM add-ins, VBA, and published forms are not trusted as they are in 2003.
SP3 adds the Body, HTMLBody, WordEditor, and HTMLEditor properties to the list of properties that trigger the security prompt. You'll need to update any software which now triggers the security prompt. Since these properties also trigger the prompt in Outlook 2003, most, if not all, add-ins should have updated versions available now. Developers: see OutlookCode.com for more information.

Programs known to be affected by the changes:

IHateSpam -- Update available
SpamNet -- Update available
Norton AntiSpam -- Run LiveUpdate.
HotBar, Smiley Central, and other ActiveX applications -- Uninstall or look for a newer version
Palm Pilot software -- remove palmapp.dot from Word's startup folder
PocketMirror. Get the free PocketMirror 3.1.6 update.
Palm's Hotsync v4.1.0
NewsGator -- More information
Acrobat add-in for Word -- disable Word as the email editor or disable the COM add-in in Outlook (instructions below)
Other Word templates or add-ins may trigger the security warning. Disable the add-in or Word as the editor or delete the template from Word's startup folder.
Word Macros in normal.dot may cause the warning--rename normal.dot and restart Word.
Incredimail for Outlook plugin

The real impact is that for most people who use Word as their editor, life just got a little more interesting. You might observe a security pop-up everytime to try to craft a new message Mad
