Just started seeing many email attachments with .html active javascript ransomware in base64 fully loaded anyway this is going to be the new normal, disabling javascript on email clients as filtering these will be challenging)

I set my email program to treat all my mail/mailinglist messages as text only. I don't need to act like a web browser and show me nicely formatted pages as I have a separate program for that. Viewing messages as simple text means you don't should not have to worry about any attempt to include something other than simple text. -- Cheers!
