That has been my experience, but I did bring some cautious habits from Windows, I don't render HTML and don't use a preview window and I don't, if I can possibly avoid it, use webmail. *If* I were to use the latest flashy GUI email client with all the bells and whistles, and *if* I were to enable all rendering options (they're probably on by default) and *if* I were to open a malicious email, is there any possible risk from JS expecting to find a Windows system but still managing to do harm to a Linux system? I make only simple web pages and applications for my own use, and believe that client-side scripting is the work of the Devil, so I don't have any idea of what can be done by malicious JS. -- Joe
