"Surferbar" virus>Outlook sucks>best browser/email client

[Arkcon]

I have to use Outlook at work. I have preview off. Outlook defaults to preview, I notice, whenever I create a folder. So I can't blame people who have it on too much.

I never open an email with an attachment that looks frivilous, I just delete. And purge the deleted folder. I never open attachments I don't need -- the Excel spreadsheet with this months cafeteria menu goes straight to the recycle bin -- I don't need to be the propagation point of a macro virus. I'm too well known as a geek, they'll figure I did it on purpose. The secretary can always plead insanity.

At home I use Pegasus mail. Is it more secure? I dunno. I have preview off, and it strips HTML mail. At the very least its a little obscure, people write Microsoft viruses specifically, maybe they'll skip Pegasus. So maybe Pegasus is ok.

I used to use Eudora in the non-spyware mode (fewer features). But the spyware was still there, just inactive. And that was giving Adaware conniptions. So I got rid of Eudora.
