Think about this
Think about what's possible with this attack. Since this is Windows Mail it's not going to be a reaosnable business attack, so the UNC stuff is irrelevant. You're going to have to find an executable in a directory that has a subdirectory of the same name.

This one's a laugher, the most unthreatening code execution attack I've ever seen.
