Since reading here numerous times that e-mail scanning is redundant and can
even cause problems with OE I turned the scanner off (AVG 8 Free).

Having become sensitised to this issue I noticed that all anti-virus
applications promote the virtues of e-mail scanning.

How can the manufacturers be persuaded to at least insert a proviso that
e-mail scanning is not always ("never" would be too ambitious) required?

What about Microsoft's stance, given the huge user base it has for e-mail
clients?
