Theres sweet fuck-all you can do with regard to web-based email.

I suggest you use squidguard to block all web-based email, then run your own
local mail server.  I inherited a network of NT workstations and an Exchange
server, and we have to run an AV product like Nortons AV at $77 NZ per
machine annually.  I disallow students permission to run any .exe except for
the approved ones (winword.exe, arcinfo.exe, etc) by using NT system
policies.  I have removed about half the floppy drives from the school, so
that theres no way for local virus infections (happens more often than you'd
expect (bloody NAV doesn't even raise a dialogue box on a workstation when
an infection is found (I want to scare the b'jeesus out of the user)))

Look at an imap server and a http front-end on apache running on a linux
box.  I can't help with specifics, though mister Google should be a good
start.

I did however tell squidguard to block "readme.eml" using an expressionlist.
