There is a new feature in 1.8e to filter out attachments. The problem of
course is that, with the example you forwarded, the gullible user is still
shown a URL (in the plain text) of a page from which he can download
the virus. You will never be able to develop a computer system that
prevents naive users from downloading and installing viruses, this can
only be handled through user education.
