Yes there can be some extremely annoying problems with HTML mail and such, but users with a little knowledge can easily disable such features. As far as handling large amount of email goes, I couldn't survive without the auto sorting features built into outlook. As far as prank-viruses go, almost any windows mail program can be dangerous if you don't pay attention to the attachments that come in your mail. I think it should be said that most people should think about what could be in an attachment they weren't expecting.
