"So, how about email providers filter out ALL binary attachments
until end-users pass a basic computer aptitude test."

So you think I need to have attachments removed from MY e-
mail just because Windows is insecure and most Windows users
are too dumb to avoid getting infected with malware?

How about we just keep Windows users from connecting to the
Internet until Microsoft can make a decent operating system?
