In almost all cases the propagation of these trojans require user action (error). Nearly all the local press in London was saying how this virus "swept the capital" in an unstopable wave of desctruction. Hmmm.. I use Outlook and I got the virus sent to me. Strange that I deleted it instead of opening it (What with it being an unsolicited email containing a vbscript attachment). Nearly every article I read implyed that the virus would be spread without the user taking any action! Its education that seems to be the problem to me not the choice of Email client, and the press is doing their usually fine job of (mis)educating people.:-(
