Any Windows programmers out there? I'm not, so here's a freebie idea
for you:

Take a look at the Outlook/Outlook Express object model and see if
there's any way to hook into message processing between the POP/IMAP
Retrieval stage and the Save In Folder (or Apply User Rules) stage.

At that point, sanitize active HTML and executable attachments.

I bet you could make some money off a little aftermarket plugin like 
that.
