With apologies to those on the list who still use mutt/pine etc.
1. "still"? Competent professionals with security awareness use text-only email clients as a matter of basic self-defense. I trust it's obvious why those of us who are responsible for systems/networks/data need to protect ourselves in order to protect the resources we run. 2. It's pretty easy to handle attachments gracefully while using mutt. By default it checks ~/.mailcap, and in that file one can specify external programs to handle various attachment types, e.g.: text/html; w3m -dump -T text/html %s | less application/pdf; /usr/bin/evince %s Of course this needs to be done carefully, since it subjects the user to attacks against those applications carried via attachments, but that's where judicious choices on the part of the user come in -- choices as in "which attachment types, which applications, and whether or not to exercise this capability on a per-message basis". ---rsk
