Most SUV owners are urbanites whose vehicle is used to by soccer moms to go to the shops.

Very very very ver few people (except virus writers) use scripting for Word. And if Microsoft had done its job right, people wouldn't be composing simple emails with Word, and/or Word would convert messages to simple text before sending them on the internet, unless the user has specifically attached the word document as a binary attachement. If Microsoft had done its job right, people wouldn't be sending HTML emails and Microsoft mail clients wouldn't try to process HTML emails, they would see them as binary attachements and offer to save them or perhaps launch the web broser to view the contents.
