Not the point. What e-mail software do you know of that will, out of
the blue, attempt to _execute_ the e-mail it's reading?
None - because it would be a colossally stupid thing to program a
text processor to do. You might as well imagine a TV set that, when
tuned to a particular channel and when receiving a particular program
turned into a microwave and began cooking steaks.
That's outrageous - and so would a a mail reader that attempted to
execute the mail.
