use of the security addon from MS for outlook 98 / 2000
provides 2 "levels" for incoming attachments and control
of settings by security policy:

http://www.microsoft.com/Office/ORK/2000/journ/outsecupdate.htm

http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/appndx/toolbox.htm

surprisingly for MS it actually has quite conservative defaults !
whatever next ?

I'm wondering if a combination of the two approaches might be
very strong indeed yet very "user-friendly"
