Yeah, I see the page you're talking about now.  I hadn't popped that one up 
before.  My bad.

For the sake of argument let's say their software is crap and it was 
ultimately responsible for the inbox getting wiped.  Dealing with AV 
software from all kinds of vendors is the reality of the Windows 
environment today.  The biggest area of concern for viruses is ultimately 
going to be E-Mail for the foreseeable future.

Mozilla mail should be aware of this reality, and do what it can to insure 
that a possible viral attachment is not a part of the mail body when a scan 
occurs.  Especially for vendors out there that aren't even willing to 
acknowledge there is such a thing as a Mozilla project.  No Mozilla 
developer or user can force some other vendor to play nice with Mozilla 
files.  It can make it so actions they may take do not adversely impact the 
integrity of mail folders.

Strip them attachments!

Later on,
