Quote: I noticed how many sites the e-mails were connecting to inorder to grab images for the email.

Surely it would be easier just to read email as plain text. Then no images would be loaded, and no code would be executed (and therefore no nasties installed).

To be sure, the View as Text option only removes HTML code. No <img...> tags equals no images. Fine so far. But.....


If an image is attached directly to the message instead of being "referenced" (as in the <img.....> tag), it will still be d/l'd along with the text. As it was explained to me many years ago (too many years ago ), an attached image isn't "referenced", it is actually encoded as part of the original message, right from the time of orignal authorship. In my experience, OE's option to View as Text does not strip out that encoding. Perhaps I could configure it to do so, I don't know, but I'm happy with the way things are running at the moment, TYVM
