Getting users to open a message isn’t a terribly high bar. As a user I would not find it acceptable if needed to be careful with which message I open. We tried putting the responsibility on the user with email attachments and I think it’s fair to say it’s been a disaster. Malicious attachments are probably the most important distribution vector for malware.

This isn't even an exploit if the crappy AI or whatever that's trying to do something fancy never "processes" the message. At least give me a choice before you automatically do that
ESPECIALLY when we're trying to be concious about the amount of resource that "AI" uses. I don't need to burn GPU cycles on something I can read with my own eyes.
