It must be interesting (not) to live in such a state of "wonderment" or

of your emails.

Surely even you know better than that. The graphics aren't an issue.
It's the scripting behind the graphics that can cause mischief.

I try not to confuse Harry with too much technical chatter. He will
call me a hobbyist and snerk.

D'oh

"To protect you from those with malicious intent, Thunderbird does not
allow any scripts (VBscript JavaScript) to run within the email. This
means that the bouncing ball or the funny banner that the sender
programs to follow your mouse simply will not work, but it also means
that the folks over at virii R us can't get their little gem to play
either, so even if the mail contains a script to download every know
virus onto your computer, opening the email will do nothing because the
script simply can't run.

"This is also the case with Flash animations and flash movies. They
also don't work, and for the same reason that the scripts are disabled.
They represent a threat to your security."

Perhaps you need to upgrade to modern software, eh?
Oh, and I'm going to eat more beans, to make Wayne's sniffing up my ass
more pleasant for him.

I just mentioned that feature about Thunderbird that I like. In order
to open and view something in an email you must click on "Options" and
allow remote content. I only do that for emails I am expecting and/or
from people I know.
