What kind of trouble?

Some news readers do not open it automatically.

Agent gives me a popup, but it also gives me the option of not seeing
the popup again.


Are you running an antique version of Agent?

Agent 7.20/32...about as recent as you can get. I couldn't get my old
version to work with Win 7. Had to fork over $19. 'Bout killed me.

the popup again.
Mine just shows an icon and gives me the option to save and open it or
not.
It is probably because I have my security settings as tight as I can
get them and I don't let my machine open much of anything (executable)
without me knowing it.

You can cause a lot of mischief in an HTML package, not that any of
the folks here are likely to do it.
Strange. It's just text.

You can embed scripts in HTML. So smart people do not open them.

HTML may be text but it can have embedded hyperlinks to malware sites
among other things.
Once you let HTML run, you may also be running malicious Java scripts
or just about anything else that could happen on a Russian web site.

Uncheck 'View/Display HTML content' That solves the problem in Agent
7.2.

In the level I run, I have to actually agree to launch an HTML.
Usually it never comes up in a "text only" group.
The only reason you would want to use HTML is if you are embedding
graphics or scripts. If you are doing that you should be in a binary
group.

Ignorance is bliss.



Are you the official newsgroup prepper?

Sorry, but my computer operating system ain't the target yours is.
