>>this is a screen cap of the top of my new outlook 2003 
check out how it prevents the auto-download of mikes banner 
 

So what ? If you receive a message with a 150k virus in it, you can "block" it, 
but you've got to receive it first before you can block it. My problem is not wi
th blocking images, it is with NOT RECEIVING 150k from so many viruses. 
 

In your example, the image is an HTTP request to get the image. Sure, you can bl
ock the request and not download the image, fine, but in the virus I'm talking a
bout, the images, scripts etc are not HTTP requests, they are incorporated in th
e message as parts (multiparts). You cannot receive the text only and not the at
tachements. You get everything or noting.
