Not much they can do.
Not much they can do.

Email was never designed for security, and it's
HARD getting everybody on the same page with a
solution that works, because basically every
solution we know of pretty much requires
everybody to use it. But, unfortunately, it's
difficult convincing people running email
servers to implement a common solution.

So, we're stuck with what we've got. A system
that is broken to the core with no end in sight
for a solution.

Buggy software comes from everyone.  Erroneous | 10/20/09
It's not so black and white.  AzuMao | 10/21/09
Perhaps even more scary is all the Apple users ...  de-void | 10/20/09
Not only immune but  Erroneous | 10/20/09
Devoid of thought as usual it seems.  AzuMao | 10/21/09

Try again. I never said all Windows users think Windows is perfect.  AzuMao | 10/21/09
Get real - PCs get infected - Macs not so much - PC fans upset by truth  richardw66 | 10/30/09
One clear advantage of Mac  rahbm | 10/21/09
That's rather irrelevant since most people post in their browsers.  AzuMao | 10/22/09
System Wide doesn't mean Safari  richardw66 | 10/30/09
Thing is spelled right,  rtk | 10/22/09
A decent one would take context into account.  AzuMao | 10/23/09
