That was no rant, and pretty factual. Microsoft has left security
hole after security hole. Further, almost none of this would happen
if people would stop using Outlook and Outlook Express for mail. A

Outlook and OE are both capable of operating as text based if the user
would set the defaults properly. When configured so they are just as
resistant to attack as the other text based readers.

They are every bit as capable as Agent which I happen to be using
here as I prefer the way it handles newsgroups better than the other
two.

good text based email and news program like Agent goes a long way
toward preventing both accidental infection and spreading of the
trash that currently pollutes the system so heavily. Eudora used to
be good also, but I haven't used it in almost 10 years so it could
have given in to the weaknesses by now.
