Completely untrue. Mail.app will ask you if you want to open the app just like OutlookExpress on Windows does.
Actually, Outlook Express and Outlook will (by default) strip all executable attachments
before you even get them. They've done this for some time.
Actually this is not correct. By default they will deny you the ability to save or open the attachments, but they do not strip anything. My experience is that users almost always turn off that feature so they can save those questionable file types again. The feature on or off will still leave the attachments on the emails.
