There hasn't been an Outlook vulnerability for years, the only
vulnerabilities you can exploit these days in Outlook are the ones that
are caused by the fact that Outlook uses IE to render HTML mails.
Hence the speculation on my part ;)

in Outlook. The thread's author just mentions IE as an aside.
