If you're using Thunderbird you can set it so attachments aren't automatically downloaded which reduces the chance of getting a trojan/virus from emails. "Reduces" being the key word, because if you do download the attachment and open it well, you're on your own pal.

Under Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings check the "Fetch headers only" option.

I believe most email programs have that option but you have to check the particular one you use.
