Not only that, but html email can subject you to very nasty things (yes, even under Linux). At the very least one could put an invisible gif to know if and when you read the message (important for a spammer to know that an address is active). For an account of what could happen reading
not if one has their firewall adjusted correctly and knows whats coming in and going out.
Well, preventing invisible gif loading (as well as other nasty things) at the firewall would mean to block all http traffic, so no web browsing at all.
Besides, if someone knows what's coming in and out he's most probably using plain text email already ;-)
