True that browsers are more vulnerable in their native configuration.
However they can be configured to be quite protective with readily
available & proven tools to do this. Additionally, when the user
double-clicks the HTML icon in the message they are aware they are
taking a purposeful action that has the potential for unwanted
results. No system will ever be able to effectively perform actions
that are the users' responsibility without the user losing freedom and
control.
