Actually, no.

This is one of the many auto-execute exploits on unpatched machines and 
the nature of the above HTML is such that it does not also produce a 
clickable link.  The "dumbness" in any recipient affected by this would 
be that they were using an unpatched version of IE (or, had this 
arrived previous to MS shipping a patch -- it took quite some time for 
this one to get patched -- the "dumbness" would be that they used IE at 
all...).
