Sunspot, when you say that you have full e-mail functionality what do you mean ? When you click on any attached VB script file, is it that it doesn't run at all (which means that you don't have full functionality of an integrated environment) or does it mean that this script is run in a sand-box where it can't do any harm - in this case some legitimate scripts won't work - so again no full functionality. The point of this virus affecting so many people shows not the vulnerability of the client system but that of the e-mail server which can't be cleaned up quickly once the problem is known and also of the people who are stupid enough to click on an e-mail with ILOVEYOU (come on!) title and open a stupid VB script file.
