A bit difficult to understand what you wanted to say and ask. "Giving
mesures"? "Support the ..."?

If what you wanted to ask is if HTML-formatted e-mails could end up
executing Javascripts then the answer is "Depends on the security zone
configured by the recipient's e-mail client". If they use the
Restricted Sites security zone (and it is set to its default setting of
High, or even customized to be more restrictive) then, no, Java,
ActiveX, and scripting won't run for that rendering of the
HTML-formatted e-mail. You can go look at the settings for the
Restricted Sites security zone yourself by looking in the Internet
Options applet.

However, if you send a link and the recipient clicks on it then they are
opening their browser to render the contents of the page for that link
rather than displaying it within the e-mail client. So the Restricted
Sites security zone won't be used as it would for HTML-formatted e-mails
but instead the Internet security zone gets used to the browser that
gets opened. So, yes, clicking on a link to open a browser may run
Java, ActiveX, and scripts if that user's Internet security zone permits
those features. You are using two different applications for rendering
HTML and each one may be using a different security zone. It is up to
the user to determine how they want to configure the security zone. If
they want, they can disable Java, AX, and scripts for their browser,
too, or configure to get prompted.

Any recipient that deliberately configures their e-mail client to use
the Internet security zone really deserves what they get because they
chose to get it. The default setup is (or should be) to use the
Restricted Sites security zone.

Thanks very much for your answer, Vanguard.

What I meant is that I send an HTML email with a link that open a
browser window (IE, NN, Mozilla, or whatever) 360x270 pxs (Here is
necessary a JavaScript to open de window in this mesure) and inside the
window is an image or a html page that lays in a far server.

My question is: IF Windows Outlook recipients, aside from the security
zone stuff, could open this kind of email and execute a javascript (open
the browser window), because Outlook Mac users can not do that due to
Mac versions don't support JavaScript protocolls.
