One can always choose an email client that _doesn't_ automatically run executables or load URLs when the email is opened, or even without it being opened, or even one that does not allow running or loading when these are clicked, and defaults to using plain text rather than html.

But then a) it wouldn't be Microsoft, b) it wouldn't be pretty.
