    # A parapalegic with Tourettes. (may or may not be connected, you have me there)
    # 97 year old twin sisters who still listen to their tube powered RCA radio. (the radio is their only source of music)
    # A man who has been in a coma since 1972. (he can't download obviously)
    # The Vatican. (not a person)
    # That crazy guy outside my office who plays a harmonica. (he's a homeless nutbar who can't afford a bath let alone broadband)

    Yes, I know a lot of what I write makes it sound like my tinfoil hat is loose but hear me out:

    IronPort buys SpamCop

    Worms hammer anti-spam sites

    Because IronPort is now "spammer friendly", SpamCop doesn't suffer these DDoS attacks.

    SpamCop's for-fee competition and free lists are ran off the net by IronPort supporters.

    Not suprisingly, IronPort's products don't block mail from their customers.

    IronPort and it's spammer customers profit.

    If I just look at "hot_nekkid_chicks.sh" in Mutt I would only see the script. Just looking at these things in Outlook lets them run. With mutt I would have to save the script, chmod it +x, then run it.

    Which is safer?
