Complex HTML Messages

[Steven Fisher]

There's an option in Entourage 2001 to not allow network access when
resolving complex HTML messages. I always have this option on so spammers
can't use webbugs to verify my email address.

For those who don't know what web bugs are, a webbug msesage at its most
basic would look something like this:

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
  <IMG SRC="http://spamserver.com/welcome.gif?[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>
...

If the spammer keeps track of all the ?email=blahblah data that comes in, it
will receive confirmation that the spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED] was
delivered. Instant confirmed email addy and WHAM, my email address is being
sold to everyone in the world who wants it as a confirmed email address.

Anyway, here's my question: Is there a way to get Entourage 2001 to fetch
everything required to display a single message on demand? What about
Entourage X? Some stuff I actually want uses stuff from servers to keep the
message size small.
