Why are email attachments not so dangerous in Linux? Well, generally speaking it is because nearly all malicious email attachments target Windows machines. Root kits are the real danger,when installing a new Linux system, RKHUNTER one of the first tools you can add. And as soon as it is added, it is used. In a short answer Linux is not immune to viruses but it is not a targeted system and also its not as prone as a windows OS.
