I agree. Some newsletters are in HTML and that's not a bad idea. (Note that these are "newsletters" , not HTML-Email. HTML has nothing to do with Email, except maybe for an occasional attachment, even though newsletters are sent via the same ports and protocols as newsletters.) Here is a suggestion: Make an option to allow GET commands for emails from trustful sender addresses, or to download images from trustful servers. This way, the sender of the newsletter can leave the graphics on his server and does not need to send billions of additional bytes through the internet to each recipient. Does this make sense? -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
