Doesn't the 'Don't blame Microsoft' chant seem a little
stale?  If the security holes weren't in the operating system and
applications we wouldn't need the anti-viral software to patch them.  IMHO

                        X-no-Archive:yes
                        For a view to the contrary, see "Don't blame
Microsoft if antivirus software

                        If you're going to be a lemming (use microsoft
outlook) then be prepared to
                        jump
                        off the cliff, or at least throw your computer off
the cliff.  Try a
                        different
                        browser and email software, you know the less
popular kind.
