Yes, I know, they are frequently discovered.
But I'm brave! :)
And I do backups.
And I've NAV with real time file system check.
And I'm sitting behind my ISP strong firewalls.
I never activate attachments without antivirus check.
I use now strong Windows 2003.
...
It worked well for quite some time for me and for my two elder children who
are very often in the Internet - I don't see why it will not work that well
in the future...

Yes, there is no perfect things in this World.
It can be probably broken by evil forces one dark day.

But Thunderbird or Pegassus Mail - they can be also broken for sure - all
these buffer overrun tricks you know - one dark day one black soul will find
a flaw in them and will exploit it...

No guys, I will not change my good old OE! :)
