Any file is equally easy to open. I use files with a cvs-extension daily, and open them all the time. Not sure why you try to open them in inkscape through, as my cvs-files are plain text. With the right tool you can read any file, and what software YOU happen to have installed is of course not any sign of how hard or easy it is to read a file in general. >2.

Do you seriously belive that binary files (such as images) can not be encrypted? I think you might have to read a bit about encryption then. Not that it matters here, as others have explained, but still... Also - this cache is of emails sent TO you. So unless you have 100% control of everyone you communicate with, there is no way you can know what files or attachments they might send you. You might not like binary files yourself, but most other people are more than willing to use them, and will probably email them to you if they want to share the content with you. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
