Besides, there could be a pot of money to made in the windows mailer 
market, if the products can be pushed hard enough.  Competitors to Outlook 
should trade on their virus-resistivity and security/encryption!

Corporates should be willing to pay a few dollars a seat for these feature
alone (though they obviously would't be prepared to appraoch the single 
user list price)!

It's possible that a little more work should be put into PMMail/2000 to
emphasize this (like don't run executable attachments when they are
double clicked on in the attachment area!) [<-- Is this on "the list"
Trev/Jim?]

Has anyone done any kind of (even informal) analysis of the risks
of viral infections via PMMail/2000?

Presumably it doesn't support the VBS scripting and MAPI security
holes exposed by Outlook?

Surely there's an opportunity here?
