the first step would be for everyone to stop running mail user agents
that automatically open potentially harmful attachments.

the second step would be for the manufacturers of such user agents 
to get hit with a massive class action lawsuit.  after all - this 
has been a known problem for ten years, there have been multiple 
widely publicized attacks in the past.  any vendor that continues 
to expose its customers to such security risks certainly shares
some of the liability.
