Then you need to learn about the In-Reply-To header, which is what makes

You've got that really wrong. The underlying Windows OS kernel is just 
fine and well designed.

It _is_ the fact that Outlook and Outlook Express will automatically 
invoke active content of the messages they receive (compounded by the

outgoing email) that makes them such a ripe portal of infection and 
transmission of malware of various sorts.
