Email Clients and digital signatures

I would humbly ask for the benefit of everyone else on the Net that you 
not choose Outlook or Outlook Express as your email client, despite the 
supposed benefits of tasks and calendaring. The reason I say this is 
Outlook and Outlook Express are the primary vehicles through which the 
vast majority of email-borne worms and viruses are spread. Those worms 
and viruses use Outlook's "features" to hammer the email servers 
belonging to everyone else. By the same token, choosing something other 
than Outlook will benefit you in that you will not need to worry to the 
same extent that your email client might be hijacked by some attachment.
