That's because it's not an "engine". It's a renderer. > Is this lack of function still intentional (I'm assuming for > security reasons) or am I missing some setting? It is intentional for both technical and security reasons. > I've been waiting for ages for it to finally work so I can see > inline images, etc. In-line images *can* be seen. It's out-of-line images (on-line images) that cause trouble by requiring you to connect to the internet and download them separately to your email. > Between ZoneAlarm and Norton A/V 2002, I'm not worried about > anything harmful getting in. That doesn't work, not with malicious JavaScript and HTML. Anyone can write spy-ware and non-viral/worm code that won't upset the the firewall and AV protection but will still run and hurt you. > It'd be nice if we at least had the option to turn on full html, > unless it's already there and I've missed it. It will never be there in that form. It's just too dangerous. I understand that support for retrieving non-sent images will be added at some point *BUT* it will only get one image at a time and prompt for permission for *each* image. This is because not all images *are* images. As for whether or not the internal renderer will ever support JScript (or VBScript) code - I doubt it. The internal renderer will only ever be useful as a reasonable display of the message sent. It is still going to be a case of double clicking on the attachment to see the HTML in full gory (sic). This is only "as it should be". HTML was designed to be used on-line. EMail was designed to be used off-line. The crossover of the two remains ever an uncomfortable mess of compromise, concession and risk. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
