ET'ers, First: Entourage X under 10.2.4.
Like most of us, I suppose, I frequently get complex HTML messages which are spam. In a spam-free world, I would always allow access to the net when displaying complex HTML, and I would always have the preview pane open. In the real world, I don't want to do both of those things because 1) the graphics links in spam may contain "web bugs" that confirm the validity of my e-address (so the spammer can sell it), and 2) many of the spam graphics are just plain offensive. When I turn off network access for displaying complex HTML, it protects me from the nasties, but it also cripples nice messages with complex HTML (such as newsletters from Apple). Unfortunately, the scope of the setting is Entourage-wide; further, it appears that changing the setting from "disallow" to "allow" requires a relaunch of Entourage to take effect. Another way to protect myself is to turn the preview pane off, so that messages are never automatically displayed, but that is awkward (a paneless pain, so to speak) when I am trying to determine if the junk filter has any false positives. What I would like best is a contextual-menu item available when network access is disallowed. The menu item would load the clicked-on graphic. A toolbar button would load all graphics on the page. Then I could open emails without fear, but get the nice HTML as designed with a single additional click. Short of a new version of Entourage, is there any procedure or option you think would help? Any hope from the script wizards? And could MBU kindly consider different scoping and affordances to deal with complex HTML? -- Joshua -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
