RE: [Asrg] HTML-burdened E-mail

2003-06-26 11:28:28
Unauthenticated executable content of any kind has no place in email.
There
is no cause to send unsolicited and unauthenticated Java, Active-X or
Javascript. The <IMG> tag referencing an external object is causing a
programmed action I think it should be blocked by default as well.

HTML worked and works just fine without external references or
executable
content. 

+1, I agree strongly.

BTW it's even more complex now, since many legit mail-sending operations
consider "web bugs" (1x1 pixel external IMGs with an identifying tag)
to be good practice in measuring mail views. :(

I know of at least one large financial organisation that refuses to accept
messages containing web bugs.  If a few more large groups hopped on the
bandwagon...
