Notes:
-
For security reasons, consider choosing e-mail
clients that don't automatically give you HTML pages. Choose
ones that deliver your mail as a text file, and, if the program
does allow HTML pages, choose a program that lets you turn
off the HTML feature.
-
For the security reasons stated above, consider
never sending your own messages in the HTML format.
-
What's the problem? Scripts can be
embedded in HTML pages - scripts that can activate, or encourage
you to activate, some type of nasty "exploit" on
your computer. (Note: I filter out all HTML e-mail.)
