What's so special about it? sounds pretty basic to me. Look at this. Looks like 
hype to me. Every mail client other than O/OE is safe from mail worms. At least 
from mass mail worms. Of course if you set to autoexecute attachements from 
MIME type and a word attachment contains a virus, no mail client can save you..

----------------------------
The Bat! is invulnerable to KLEZ, an e-mail worm that does not require the 
email receiver to open the attachment for it to execute. It uses a known 
vulnerability in Internet Explorer-based email clients (Microsoft Outlook, 
Microsoft Outlook Express) to execute the file attachment automatically. This 
is also known as Automatic Execution of Embedded MIME type. The Bat! is very 
well-protected against viruses and worms that spread via email.
----------------------------

And i tell you it's real funny when you open a mail in kmail and see the 
vbscript virus naked. I have filed plenty of them in my virus zoo. Want a copy?
