I use Thunderbird (descended from Mozilla). I've gotten many copies in
my mailbox, but I haven't been infected. It will "get through" unless
you actively stop it from landing in your inbox - difference is, in
Lookout/OE, there's a chance of it being activated without you doing
anything, whereas sane mail clients will not do anything till you tell
it to.
