John, You can't fix the world or every office running a crusade against outlook. If you don't like viruses, bit your teeth and invest in a 1 user license for a commercial virus scanner and then run amavis. A 1 user license of most linux commercial virus scanners is all it takes to protect one company from viruses.
MS's stupid exchange virus scanning API ensures that you have to buy many antivirus licensing, and because it's mailbox level scanning (not MTA) you have to buy licenses per the user.. yuck. Hope I helped.

In Outlook you can set it on a USER by USER basis to send TEXT only. I don't use it any more (since the late 90's), but I remember the setting being in there somewhere. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
