most of the E-mail virus issues are due to three facts: 1: Scripting is fundamentally insecure in E-mail because it runs with local computer privleges.
2: Microsoft enables scripting in Outlook with no option to turn it off without turning off HTML entirely. 3: People are generally suckers and will click on anything, and generally love flashy, HTML E-mail. These three facts combine to form a wonderful vector for viruses. I don't see any of the three changing soon, so our best bet is people switching to Mozilla and it's E-mail client.
