"The Thunderbird email client doesn't get half the attention that its big brother, the Firefox browser, gets, but the Mozilla Foundation has finally gotten around to lavishing some love on it, and the first beta of version 2 is now out. If you think there's nothing more that can added to an email client - except for the fabled seek-out-and-destroy-spam option - prepare to be pleasantly surprised. The new Thunderbird comes with numerous new features."

"Wouldn't a nice feature in email clients be to make a message rule saying if the attachment is an exe, pif, com, bat etc to just delete it, or move it somewhere."
I suppose you could set up such a rule in Thunderbird - remember though that it is cross-platform. Those of us using operating systems other than Windows probably couldn't care less if an e-mail contains a .pif file - it's considerably less offensive than most other spam. Hence, not a feature I think should be in by default.
