to be more precise, someone using the unfortunate email program. Should I post a list of alternative email programs? There is probably at least 400 really usable email programs around, many of them free, a good fraction of this even work on several platforms. None of them can promise perfect security but the impact with *every* other mailer has been not even a fraction of the problem you encounter with Outlook every time its miserable design fails. Btw don't think this is a problem that will go away with improved anti-virus SW or the 1EXP46-th build of Outlook, a real solution would require Microsoft to cut back on unneeded dangerous features and that probably won't happen until the doomsday.
