Hi Laurie,
You are right, they are on a remote computer... but I do never read my
e-mail on line. Why should I do that? The telephone isn't that cheap.
These letters are e-mail newsletters.
I was just wondering if M$ win did have a sneaky way of downloading
those pictures... my two providers use the same trick.
