Outlook Macro Security Strangeness

[Scared, Weird Little Guy]

For years I have used Pocketknife Peek for previewing email messages in
text-only format. It has worked in all versions of Outlook I have used. The
other day I built a new PC, put Office 2003 on, installed Pocketknife Peek.
Now, whenever I hit the 'peek' icon, Outlook crashes......UNLESS.....I click
Tools, Macro Security (which has ALREADY been set to 'low'), then without
changing anything, clikc OK....then Pocketknife Peek works OK. It's like the
Macro Security settings aren't sticking, even though every time I view them,
they are set to 'low'. Anyone have any ideas?

I use Pocketknife Peek and Outlook 2003 with no trouble at all with macro
security set to Medium. There's something peculiar in your installation,
although I can't suggest what it may be.
