Traumwind - never open email attachments?

As Mr. ScriptingNews points out it's a bad idea to do so. Hmmmm, but what do you do if your business depends on your clients sending in their stuff by exactly that way? Word-docs, PowerPoint persentations, you name it...
The attachement is not to blame. It's the stupid Software/OS thinking it should run anything that's in a email. Talk about detachement!
