Change to something like Eudora? :)

Seriously...viruses work against Micro$oft products for the same reason 
that viruses work on monocrop agriculture - there's no ecological 
diversity, no way to stop the transmission between email and other parts of 
your system.  By not using Monocropsoft products, you limit your exposure 
to virii, which are by and large targeted at Outlook and Windows 
vulnerabilities.
