And that's damn right - especially for Outlook Express. Read
Guninsky security bulletins (http://www.nat.bg/~joro)- you can do terrible
things with HTML messages, especially when you're using scripting and
ActiveX controls. Horrible! Horrible! Horrible!
You may even play with cookies and thus steal person's email
address. HTML mail messages are evil.
Yours, Ilya.
