That's the approach my company takes. We use mostly Netscape with a smattering of Eudora for Windows users. Even after being acquired by an all-MS shop, our ex-owners had the power and obvious technical know-how to stand firm and keep Lookout out. Of course, that doesn't prevent users from opening malicious attachments, so I've also installed a procmail "sanitizer" to "defang" executable attachments by renaming dangerous extensions and stripping known trojans before delivery. > Try, hmmm, Eudora!

I just wish there were a text version of Evo so that my checks of mail from home wouldn't require X over ssh, which is pretty slow even with broadband.
