That depends on the situation. We us Imail for our corporate e-mail and
want them to have to take that extra step. Anti-virus works great and
catches most of the problem files, but a couple of times my .vbs block
has caught brand new viruses before they were included in the dat file
updates. If I were running an ISP I would leave it up to the users, but
in a corporate enviroment different rules apply.
