Are HTML formatted e-mail messages a danger to your members? I think so, since once in your members computer, they can do anything which a web page can do. Think about it. We are all complaining about spam and going nuts trying to minimize this scourge to e-mail. In the meantime, the spammers are having a blast thinking up new ways to beat our anti-spam methods. But more importantly, the hackers and whackers are doing their worst to infect, damage and destroy your members computers.
I have observed that more and more spammers are using HTML formatted messages and you can kill this e-mail simply by using a "global routing rule" which says to "delete" mail in the "headers/body" which "contains" "Content-Type: text/html" This simple fix will reduce the amount of spam coming into your system and will stop the hackers in their tracks from doing their damage. It will however prevent any mailer from sending HTML messages, even if they are legit. The choice is yours. Comments, anyone???
