Re: html emails with javascript in outlook
Thanks Thomas, thanks craig, some very interesting points raised there. After reading them I feel I should have known better really. A good insight into spamming there, good in the sense that I can better prevent it in the future. I'll send all as HTML attachments.

Then your company IT department are looking at things the wrong way. What Manchester Univeristy (for instance) says, is that they will provide you with methods X, Y and Z to access your email. They will support clients A,B and C. If you want to use K to read your email, that's fine, because X and Y are all standard open protocols. This is the way IT should, imho, be provided - as a service, not a blanket imposition of someone elses 'best way' on everyone. -- Tom Chiverton Advanced ColdFusion Programmer Tel: +44(0)1749 834997 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] BlueFinger Limited Underwood Business Park Wookey Hole Road, WELLS.

I have yet to find a single client/server package which provides the functionality of Exchange and Outlook, other than Openmail. Seen Horde ? Not until you mentioned it, so I took a look (http://www.horde.org/), and no, it's no substitute for Exchange + Outlook. Not by a long shot. I do appreciate the pointer, though.

Re: html emails with javascript in outlook
Why anyone would want to use Outlook is beyond me, Just because it comes with Windows and people don't care to look for something else. If people don't care to look for something else, it means they don't care either to look for patches and new versions. This means that, despite Microsoft's notice that they solve problems and correct flaws and breaches, we still have many years ahead with virus, trojans and other garbage from stupid users.
