the reasoning-logic behind the last sentence seems a little weird and far-fetched to me... If you are worried about getting infected from this list, why not use a decent MUA that doesn't expose you to these kind of risks. Especially under linux, there are several choices. Generally, I guess that you'll suffer from a much higher vulnerability when carrying on using stuff like Outlook. just my 5 cents, Erdmut > Which is too bad, since that means that the school > where I have an informatics lab will not have linux.
