In truth, there are really no e-mail programs that are even close to being invulnerable. The only reason Microsoft's products seem to have more problems is because of the number of attackers concentrating their efforts on Microsoft products. The Government and the news media have so demonized Bill Gates and Microsoft that millions of people feel it is their obligation to take down Microsoft any way they can. The attacks only strengthen Microsoft, in the long run.
The people running other software should not deceive themselves into believing that they have immunity from hackers, crackers, and virus/trojan programs. They need to just sit back and relax in the knowledge that the software they are running is not the object of a lot of unwanted attention right now, mainly because it is not overly popular. If the majority of people using e-mail switched to Pegasus, then the weaknesses of Pegasus would be quickly exploited and the viruses, trojans, and worms would continue to plague e-mail users.

I use Pegasus Mail which is bomb-proof enough that I don't bother running anti-virus software. Cheers, - Dave David A. Mann, B.E. (Elec) - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
