Sending and receiving the email will not access port 80, that is correct. But I believe Joseph is talking about *viewing* an HTML message which contains an <img src="http://some.web.server/myimage.gif";> tag. That *will* cause the mail application to access port 80 in order to retrieve the image. > All of this is going to be a moot point shortly as the feature "View > Message Body As ....." --> "Original HTML", "Simple HTML", "Plain Text" > will be included hopefully in the next 1.01alpha.
