If IE or any other browser can render HTML, execute code, then by dumping IE for an alternative brower is a exercise in futility.

Except that the other browsers don't use system-level DLLs to do render, opening the door for a system takeover. Except that the other email clients don't use those same DLLs to render HTML emails, thus providing another pathway for web-based attacks.
