It amazes me that anyone actually uses mail readers that are
susceptable to this kind of thing. Given the swiss-cheese security of
MS Outlook and it's cousins, I avoid even installing them on my
system. I stick to Forte Agent for my main and news, which won't do
anything with extensions other than let me know they're there.
There's no way a message could kick off a script, because it has no
scripting language, because there's no need for one for these
text-based apps.
