OPEN ISSUE: Standards Track

Because of buggy programs that execute code in email messages, which 
has exactly zero to do with SMTP, POP or IMAP.   :'/   BTW, 
implementations of POP and SMTP security features in both open-source 
and vendor-supplied mailers seem to be getting pretty advanced at this 
stage, although there is still more work to do.
