Not allowing HTML or pictures isn't an option for my Architecture/ Interiors/ Graphics/ Landscape design firm... and of course you're being too literal about PCs - Outlook or whatever it is has the same preview pane setup (granted, it's outside the scope of this list). It's still much easier to keep people from clicking in the wrong place if the spam doesn't open in the first place, hence our policy of no preview panes. As an added benefit, you don't need to know about the corrupt messages, because you will naturally delete them before they cause problems. -Barbara -- 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/>
