Yes, not using MS SW for email is what I call an user sanity check. I'm using The Bat! at home, which warn about dangerous contents, do not display HTML mails, never hide extension etc. At work we have Outlook + Exchange, but also very good firewall, so I've never got any virus to my work computer. Everything was stopped by firewall and sorry user was automatically informed that his computer has a virus.
One should never be cautious enough while dealing with internet.

Note: pagesflames_at_usa.net has been cancelled due to changes (maybe we
can call it an overture to bankruptcy) on that server. I'm still using
this email to prevent SPAM. Maybe one day I will change it and have a
proper mail even for news, but right now I can be reached by this
email.
