I know... I don't use Outlook.  But my co-workers have this
twitch in using it.   I don't like them using it, but as
I'm not in the office the whole month, I don't know.

So I'd prefer to be safe than sorry(though, it'd be their
fault for using Outlook... 8)).

Get ridding of the gasoline would be the best alternative
provided you're not living with someone who loves to have
a barrel of gasoline in the room.  8)
