I agree with most of your points, but I'm not sure about this. I mean,
obviously it is true on one level, but you could blame SMTP as well,
and you wouldn't argue to get rid of that.

Is HTML mail really the problem, or is it Outlook's HTML mail? Even if
PMMail had full HTML support (whatever that means) but not script
support, would it be more vulnerable to these worms and viruses?
