 It has nothing to do with what email client you're
 running.  As it happens I've been using The BAT at
 home (and Netscape at work). 

 The BAT is a standards-based email program that
 won't do _any_ type of automatic execution, which is
 probably what you're thinking of.  But this doesn't
 protect you from getting a flood of email if some
 computers out there should turn their firehoses on
 you!  Watch out!
