sure ... someone taught me that security is not something tangible. It's a feeling and therefore there is no solution ! In your perfect solution you allow attachments to carry the 'active' content. I can surely trust aunt Sally to send me a pure text e-mail, telling me to check out her new desktop tool she's learned from a friend and then open the attachment she sends me ... golly wow, I'm infected again ...
