I agree! I think that it is a non-issue-way to try to make TheBat!
able to browse the internet. First step is displaying remote images,
then loading some remote html into frames, then sending out some text
entered into search boxes.... javascript has nothing bad if it is from
a trusted server, so make it running too... and what about
FlashPlayer... there are sounds in some eMails but I can't hear them!
loading plugins to see realplayer video streaming could be nice... and
off course: real Microsoft ActiveX is usefull too and of to risk on
trusted servers...
There are already very good applications for this use: Opera,
Firefox...
My opinion is: do not wasting time in such kind of risky feature.
The one who needs remote images displayed can just click on the html
attachement and the images are loaded by an application specialised in
managing this. There is no need to implement such stuff into TheBat!
