I will say that this type of service can be very helpful. When you’re trying to reach “government official” who is, btw, paid to read your complaints, and you do not receive any kind of response, you begin to wonder.
Now, i have a proof that a certain official is “deleting my email without reading it”
Spying? No, not really. Just making lazy people do what they’re paid for.

Yeah right, and we’re all going to believe that!

haha, spammer will try all the tricks in the world to get us to turn on HTMLK rendering. I mean, c’mon why would a kidnapper be communicating by email anyway? And wouldn’t they use Hotmail like any self-respecting criminal?

See http://www.mozilla.org/ for Thunderbird and full Mozilla. Both allow you to leave HTML rendering turned on whilst not loading remote images (i.e. web bugs).

There’s a whole host of other reasons to switch too: its junk mail filtering is ace and of course it’s not vulnerable to all of the e-mail-bourne malware and virii, unlike a certain Microsoft mail client we could name…

Thunderbird also has an option to not download remote images as well as show HTML as plain text and disable scripting.

Can this email-viewer get through the firewall?; if so, can the firewall be re-set to disallow it?

OR is this somehow attaching itself to the e-mail before and/or after it is in the particular machine.

Try using an email client called “the Bat”; it renders the text, but not the remote images. Also, it doesn’t run Active-X scripts, and it’s an all-round good email client - very flexible.

Rusty: On the OUTLOOK main window, click on TOOLS/OPTIONS/Mail Format TAB and where it reads ” Compose in this message format: “, select Rich Text, click on Apply or OK and your done…Hope this helps
