One possible way to mitigate this type of attack would be for emails to be opened in a sandbox.
The cost for businesses to implement throughout their network could be prohibitive.
A back-up on the other hand costs a damn site less. Any Hospitals down today???

What planet are you on?
I go to the doctor with say a knee complaint, he sends me the the hospital for an X-ray.
When I go back to him he clicks on a button and can see the X-ray result on screen and can make a decision on treatment.
This actually happened to me and enabled me to have a knee replacement within a year!
No FAX's!
