I would happily agree with you. Except that it's not the IE users that 
suffer. It's the Bugzilla administrators who find their Bugzilla on spam 
blacklists, and their databases filled with rubbish.

If Bugzilla attachment URLs in spam still work for a substantial 
proportion of internet users, spammers will continue to use them, and 
the problem will not be solved. It might be that making them not work in 
Firefox/Opera/Safari is enough - but I don't think there's any way to be 
sure of that.
