  to fail in such a way that it could execute code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Because this
  functionality is used by Internet Explorer, an attacker could craft a specially formed Web page or HTML e-mail
  that would cause the HTML converter to run arbitrary code on a user's system. A user visiting an attacker's Web
