But then, why would Lufthansa hide a unique identifier in their monthly newsletter, which I have actively subscribed to? And if I whitelist the LH newsletter and then someone sends me a webbug from that address (not difficult to fake a From header), it is *my* risk. People who don't want to take that risk will leave their whitelist empty, but they shouldn't tell me whether I am allowed to make my own decisions or not. TB's user demography will probably have a higher percentage of computer savvy users than most other mailers, yet it nannies the users more. Why is that? -- Cheers, Thomas.
