Some people have multiple machines, and not all machines may
run the OS that one wants. Ranting about peoples choice of mailer to
use, rather than actions, sounds like unwarranted prejudice.

Not your problem, is it? And with active patching, and being
careful about ones own actions, lots and lots of people manage to
avoid getting infected.
At this point, I have not seen the OP do anything that they
ought not to have done, and I have no idea what circumstances they
were dealing with -- they may not have a choice about the OS/MUA at
this point. We should be inviting to people who are trying to help
Debian while not yet on a free platform, rather than exposing our own
prejudices and pre-judgements.
