Yes sorry I was not clear, I meant images within HTML. I have used thunderbird for a long time and opened messages (from 'trusted' sources like companies that I subscribe to their news digests/alerts/etc.) containing images everyday like those in ad banners but did not think a lot about security risks. Is the threat for real or is it just being extra careful on the part of developers of e-mail clients that do not allow for this feature? I may change my mind about opening images but I just want to make sure that the threat is real ;-) > > 2.

Where can I start please?! I hope the documentation was better so I do not need to ask basic questions here :-( I am using Ubuntu and the balsa documentation is incomplete. Also, there is a minor bug in it; it does not contain a section '(null)' so the help application crashes. > > I am impressed with how fast and lean balsa is but > I > > need to sort out these two issues please. > > Tell it to all of your friends (and even your > enemies... ;) > I will ;-) > > Many thanks. > > cu > /Steffen > > -- > /"\ > \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign | "The best way to > predict > X * NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | the future is to > invent it." > / \ * NO MSWord docs in e-mail| -- > Alan Kay > > _______________________________________________ > balsa-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/balsa-list > ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
