Yup. Agreed. Our policy at work is allow NO REMOTE LOADING. If someone can't tell us what they want to know, and believe that we are so stupid we need pictures then we don't want anything to do with their company. Period. All of our correspondents are requested to send plain text. Those who won't don't last long. Doug, your problem is that you choose to present yourself and your products (what ever they are) using tools and methods that have been abused more than they have been useful. People are sick of getting flashy things that look like web pages when all they want to do is read the mail. Simple elegance goes a long way. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
