There is a thread in the Science section about a university being "hacked" and the major weakness the hackers exploited was getting people to open and/or preview an attachment in an email.
That's got me a thinking. With the ease of virtualisation on Windows 10 would it be possible to build a email client that the preview window is actually a virtual Windows 10 instance? Would this not be a good firewall between your actual installation and malicious emails?
I can see some issues with attachments needing to be saved onto your PC, but I can think of a few ways to overcome that issue.
Would this idea work or am I a cup of The TEA away from waking up?
