2/25/2005 9:09 PM Hi Allie, If you must click on an icon and wait for a browser to load there is opportunity to think about your action. On the other hand, since most people do not even remember lunch it is easy to forget that the images are loading automatically until there is a problem. I much prefer to make the choice on a case by case basis. Also, some of those I work with have a 300 baud shortwave radio connection for email or a 7500 cell phone connection costing 4.5 cents/min. They surely do not want HTML nor do they need it. They can selectively download attachments when circumstances warrant it on a case by case basis. If the configuration files are made inaccessible to the user so they are protected from themselves, and, none of this stuff is turned on by default, I might be able to accept the built-in ability as long as usability and performance are not affected. -- Take Care, Paul The Bat! v.3.0.2.10 on Win2k SP4 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.9.1 Deep Alpha | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
