I was talking about "normal" users, you changed that to "legitimate" users, and then you went on to talk about nothing but "corporate" users. Corporate users have different ideas to convey, and different standards to keep. They might find uses for HTML formatted messages that you or I wouldn't dream of in a hundred tries. But corporate messaging meets an entirely different set of demands than the ones general "legitimate" or "normal" users would have, in -many- ways. For reasons that have little to do with the risks of HTML email messages, I would hope that serious enterprises would NOT use email for most of the examples you cited, and certainly not the drag-n-drop, auto-formatted POP3 plaintext password kind of email. Enterprises need "groupware" features, and thus starts a whole different ballgame where email is only one play. In another message, you also said that corporate users say: > "My son/daughter does this at home and in school all the time, > why can't I do it..." My usual answer grows from "because you're an adult, doing real business, with real risks and real rewards" - though I usually try to put it more positively. But if they still want to act like little boys and girls, they can use the same technology and I'll gladly do the work. -- Dave Salovesh RAM Associates, Inc.
