Well, without SMTP and POP3 you'll have to rely on MAPI, which IMO, is
far more dangerous. Besides, I really don't see why the actual POP3
protocol would be responsible for spreading the worms. MAPI would do
the very same, if I'm not mistaken.
But under OS/2, none of these worms amount to a hill of beans. :-)
