I think Ari is right, but ethically they should not be able to see a page full
of code.
No matter how you look at it, you as the sys admin or webmaster are going to be
at fault. If the email system parses javascripts and other tags like the <img
src=> then, yes, they will be able to parse tags and cause things to happen on
their computers. The webmaster/Admin will be to blame then. Wonder if Netscape
cares, because I know netscape messenger parses everything, yet they haven't
been the focus of criticism I guess because they don't plug into activex.
If sqwebmail could parse only <img src=""> and ignore all others I think, that
could be something that wouldn't be harmuful.
My 2 cents,
