I disagree. The problem is that Microsoft markets their systems to people
who don't know what they are doing, but includes features in them that
make it easy for the same people to shoot themselves in the foot.
An MUA marketed at people who don't know a lot about computers, should not
have a way to run executable (scripts, native executables, macros or
whatever) attachments.
