*I would never put medical info in a cloud owned by a third party, no
matter how secure it's supposed to be. You have no guarantee that the people
managing the cloud are as secure as the software.*

*Absolutely valid point. The alternative is that we're teaching the user
that it's acceptable to open executable email attachments, which may be an
acceptable risk factor in the grand scheme of things. I still believe that
you're going to find email providers / clients that will permit receiving
executables.
