Claiming that Mozilla is less secure, because we have no attachments icon in the thread pane is a long strech, I'd say. Wait for bug 30888 to be fixed and you won't have to worry about BadTrans anymore, because it relies on HTML (bug 109249 is about BadTrans, isn't it?). > Few days ago I received a BadTrans infected mail, and I got the > "save-to-disk"-dialog immediatedly. You haven't been infected, have you? If you care about attachments, you surely won't confirm the save. > A symbol to indicate that this *new unread* message has an attachment > would be very useful.

What is correct depends on the MIME headers (content-disposition inline?) and your settings. HTML attachments are no more dangerous than HTML mail.
