How much functionality does your e-mail system have, if you cannot double-click icons without checking its validity first? Doesn't seems like something I would deploy on a large scale. I can double-click everything and look at it without having any problems whatsoever. And no virus-write will ever crack this system. Ever. Full e-mail functionality for me means: - Ability to view and store all files I receive, without fearing virus'es etc. - Ability to send all kinds of files. - Managing e-mail addresses in various. - Being able to use e-mail to manage and transmit confidential messages without fearing that other users on the same computer or on the internet can read my address book or e-mails. What more do you need? Our customers are happy that they are not vulnerable to viruses in e-mails.

To lay off the inherent lack of security in Microsoft's 1980s-standalone-mindset software on mail servers and dumb users is the worse sort of nonsense, and holds the potential for abuse of hapless users who have idiot sysadmins who subscribe to such nonsense. There are existence proofs that it is technically feasible to secure at the point of infection, for example the Java sandbox. After all, the infection may not arrive by mail. If you want to solve the problem, go to the source.
