Wot? Me? Worry?
Okay, I'll just fret a little from time to time, if that's all right.

The reports seem to be a bit over-hyped, which makes me wonder if the folks doing the reporting are being overly dramatic or boasting.

Nowadays it's possible for a script to execute if you just read a message, even in the reading pane; however, Windows now has lots of watchdogs and most security things like Norton watch out for nasty things happening.
Windows Vista is even more watchdoggy than XP was. A lot of people have expressed annoyance with being constantly asked, "Do you want to do this?" But I rather like it.
