Not really a difficulty. I just save suspect attachments to desktop
and right-click/scan them before opening. Nothing dangerous about that.
If people checked their mail with the Preview pane turned off, and
"Read all messages in Plain Text" selected, and scan attachments: no
problems.
If I was getting a lot of them; I'd use a message rule, filtering
something in the subject line, and delete them at the server. But I
don't get any, largely because I don't use my real address in Usenet
(hint, hint).

Well, is it going to do any damage if you don't do those things?
