As someone who works for a vendor that does distribute product updates via email, I feel that I need to respond. An exception the rule Marc mentions should be non-executable, strongly signed updates.
Not good enough - it's too easy for someone to save an old update, then much later, after bugs are known in it, forge mail from you including the "update", thereby reintroducing known bugs into the customer's system. der Mouse mouse () rodents montreal qc ca 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
