Well, that's a bit fuzzy. Please see below. > Is this the main security concern with HTML email? This page should adequately explain the security concerns (along with netiquette ones): http://expita.com/nomime.html Other people may help out by posting more-detailed references on the security aspects. > Now the way to tell if an email is in HTML format is if it has fancy > fonts and colors and italics, etc., is this correct? The easiest way to tell if an e-mail is in HTML is to look at it "raw". Since you use KMail, select a message and then select "View Source" from the Messages menu. KMail is like many other graphical mail clients in making a distinction between message presentation and "source" (the raw form). -- Cheers, "Why is the alphabet in that order?
