Outlook XP. Never had a problem; running from behind a NAT router/firewall/virus scanner. A couple of years ago, while learning HTML, I made the mistake of putting my mail address on a web page. Got quite some spam from that day on (page must have been hit by a harvester). My ISP has a good spamfilter, still, one or two a day get through the filter. This is NOT a mail client issue. Viruses? Like Puntomaus, never a problem. You just have to know what you're doing. By the way, the biggest mail problems happened at work - until they switched to Exchange 2003 (from Sendmail).

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
