What's so hard with stopping script kiddies (which is just about all you can do with an e-mail to my knowledge -- aside from attachments). In PHP or Perl you could easily write a script that kills ANY <SCRIPT> tags and <APPLET> tags, as well as anything else that might pop up anything. I don't understand why no one just does that with C++, it's not even that hard in that either (actually pretty easy because you just find the <SCRIPT> or whatever tag and then delete everything until the end tag ... if that means bye bye e-mail, then bye bye e-mail). Is there some other flaw (other than the awe-inspiring trust that of attachments that people have) that I don't know about? Maybe some day I might just have to work on something similar to this idea.
