I don't think that OE is so secure, when you mention that "payloads" can "fire" from within it: "It would be almost trivial to forge a message as though it came from you and to attach a payload to it that fires upon opening it." There is not "payload" that is "firing" in the tangible sense of the word. Rather, OE is automatically running scripts that exploit OE and Windows. That same "payload" can be delivered to any other MUA and not "fire". > I've tried about all of them at one time or another because > I wanted to know what the hoopla was about and ended up back with OE > every time. I would very much like to know what you did not like about other mail clients. Be specific, and I will file the bugs. Thanks.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
