There have been several questions over the last couple of weeks about
displaying external images in HTML formatted e-mails and the answer
is always that it is a security risk. Could someone (Sam?) please
explain where the risk is? The browser will fetch the URL and attempt
to render the file based on the file extension. The renderer will fail
if it isn't a valid/known image format. The file may be left in the
browser's cache, but unless you are in the habit of attempting to
manually execute random files in your cache, I don't see where the
risk is.
