ET'ers,

Maybe this is beating a dead horse, but the "allow network access for
complex HTML" switch is a great idea with a really clumsy implementation.

[For those not aware: a "complex HTML" message can include web addresses
(URL's) of graphics, just like a web page can.  If "network access for
complex HTML" is allowed, these web addresses are automatically accessed
when the message is displayed.  Spammers can include your email address (or
a database key that points to your email address) in the URL, so that the
spammer can confirm that you received his email.  A confirmed email address
is worth money, and can get a lot more spam.]

I get "complex HTML" which is _not_ spam (such as Apple Enews), and email
that is _definitely_ spam.  Turning off "allow network access for complex
HTML" at the "Preferences" level protects me from feeding the spammers, but
it also makes the non-spam unreadable.

What I'd like to be able to do is to preview a complex HTML message without
network access (as I can now with network access disallowed), but then be
able to click a button and cause the network accesses to take place (and the
graphics to be displayed) _for this message only_, once I have determined
that the message is not spam.

Can you AppleScripters help, or is this just a "some future version" dream?

Thanks.
