Hello Paul,

Has anyone asked up to now ?
I wouldn't know, I'm not privy to information regarding what goes on
behind the scenes.  However, I take steps here to ensure I don't
propagate html, jpegs, gifs and the such like.
I do not see any HTML mail, as my Thunderbird set up only displays pure
text email.  It is noticeable from some emails from others , that there
are, large areas of blank spaces inside text messages. I assume these
are HTML.

If I 'unset' pure text, I can get vast pretty pictures logos etc inside
emails from my insurance folk when renewal time comes. I prefer pure
text and keep it that way so I see the DCLUG messages in pure text.

Its also worth noting that they can tell you've read (or at least opened it) as they know something has downloaded the images and other crap they put in as it is downloaded from their (or someone else's) server.
