Outlook, I used to like it, I suspect many people still do, and

actually RSA is a better way to go, you should encrypt the key and use
ssh-agent, still saves you from typing the passwd (all but o

Well I guess some people just have to use windoze. So
isn't it possible to filter out all messages with .exe
files, word documents, excel docs etc from the list.
These would be the main problem causing stuff.

I would be OK with blocking MS Outhouse, but not Windoze

my case).
