I disable inbound mail filtering as I figure the real-time scanner will
catch anything malicious as it's extracted from the email and written to
disk.  It's the same engine and signatures, so it isn't going to catch
anything different. 
Inbound filters (especially Norton/Symantec AV) have caused some of my
clients some serious support nightmares when they can't get email and I
have to figure out why.

I use Pegasus Mail which has two different HTML display modes (neither
depends on IE), doesn't support scripting and doesn't download external
images until I tell it to, so I'm safe from the normal Outlook and
Outlook Express/IE problems there.  My POPfile spamfilter and Pegasus
Mail's built-in SpamHalter (another trainable bayesian filter) filter
most crap into the spam folder, which gets purged once it hits whatever
age I've set (I think I've set 10 days), so I have 10 days to review the
"Probably Spam" folder if someone complains that I haven't responded to
an email.
