Censorship is never the right solution, though. That would be education.

  I don't disagree, but how would you implement this? Results trump ideals every time.

    If this is really a serious problem, then they should send an informative email to every user, say once every week about spamming, phising, passwords, etc. Of course, it should be easy opt out. Moreover, when I last used Windows (XP, 2008), executables could still masquerading as .doc files. This would be easy enough to solve for MS, I think.

        If the e-mails are well-written, they will like it. You can't protect people from their own stupidity. Except maybe with censoring like this, but then we have another problem.
