Howdy,

A snippet:

"O'Hearn says he blames the current spam crisis -- by some estimates,
spam makes up 50 percent or more of all e-mail -- on the enhancement of
e-mail with HTML.

"In the pure protocol of e-mail, you could read your messages without
fear of downloading viruses," he said. "However, vendors like Microsoft
have decided to enhance that by giving you automatic HTML in your
e-mail, so you can download things you don't want without knowing it."

Ninety-five percent of all spam, and 99 percent of pornographic spam, is
offered in HTML format, according to the SurfControl press release."

I knew there was a reason I like TB!

Cheers.
