You read them and try to display them. If format is not right then component for reading the image will report it and you will skip the image. Images must have a valid header and data format. The thing is the same as with phrase TB! is not "engine" but renderer. You also only render images. Also one can send you html with attached images (which are in fact scripts) right now and nothing is wrong. Here we are only talking about downloading images if they are not attached. > You realize of course that when TB shows on-line images, you'll need > to go on-line too.

This is quite nice since you do not need to go online to view the html with images. Although I forgot if caching was until the browser was closed or longer. -- Best regards, Mitja Perko ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
