It is and it isn't. It's an issue of mail system secuirity, in a lot of
ways. We (the admins) have to find ways of protecting users both against
themselves and external nasties.

Virus and spam issues are major, especially when a lot of people still
have users on slow, expensive dialup links.

Collecting a half dozen 20-100kB Klez viruses via pop3 on a 2400bps
satellite phone link doesn't make people very happy...
