What I said was that Outlook is the most targeted email program. I once
ran a set of statistics based on reported attacks. I'm not getting into
what people like personally. I use Outlook at work, but I personally
prefer Claws, Pegasus or Thunderbird. The one nice thing aout Outlook in
a corporate environment is the you can send a calendar entry, and it is
cleaner than Google.
Again, let me reiterate my point is that Outlook has been the most
targeted, and while most of the serious security gaps have been fixed,
it is still the most targeted because it is (or they since there are a
number of different Outlooks) the most widely used in corporations and
on personal systems (Outlook Express).
