That's a somewhat short-sighted view. Use a newsreader that only launches attachments that YOU tell it to, like Agent, and keep you A.V. software up-to-date, and you're pretty safe (mind you, I'm sure some groups are worse than others for lameness factor).

Is Agent the best newsreader? Any opinions? I am particularly after something that yEnc's both up and down, thanks, Cindy
