1. A system for active message email security, the system comprising:
a processor coupled to a memory containing instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to:
receive an email message sent from a sender to a recipient containing active message content;
execute the active message content on behalf of the recipient;
convert the executed active message content to static content; and
forward the email message to the recipient with the active message content replaced by the static content, wherein executing the active message content on behalf of the recipient comprises interacting with the active message content as the recipient so that the active message content is customized for the recipient as if the recipient had interacted with the active message content themselves.
