Georgs,  RIGHT ON!!!!
These days  there is so much malware being distributed  via attachments.
I had two computers destroyed  by an attachement that supposedly  came from 
FedEx.

This particular variant blew right through Norton and Windows defender.  I 
later found out it was also effective in overcoming  serveral other popular 
anti virus protection programs.  According to my computer security  expert 
there is one variant against which ther is NO CURE or DEFENSE.

I prefer T&T  with its plain text,  zero attachment rule, because I feel 
secure from  getting my computers ruined by virus attachments.  And its the 
only access means when you are reduced to slow dial up  in some places.
