As for this business of "opening" (aka executing etc) files which

client software to insist that the name of the sender be typed into a
box, as some kind of confirmation that the sender was known to the user.
The users that are the problem anyway will vote for convinience with
their wallets. If they wouldn´t, they would not be buying the systems
that conviniently allow them to execute and install code in the first
place. It would be financially suicidal to make a piece of software to
bother the user.
