- Safer ways than outlook behaviour
-
Quote from an article comparing windows security with other OSes:
"Further, the email programs themselves are designed to act in a more secure manner. The default behavior of the email program I prefer - KMail - is to not load external references in messages, such as pictures and Web bugs, and to not display HTML. When an HTML-based email shows up in my Inbox, I see only the HTML code, and a message appears at the top of the email: "This is an HTML message. For security reasons, only the raw HTML code is shown. If you trust the sender of this message then you can activate formatted HTML display for this message by clicking here." But even after I activate the HTML, certain dynamic elements that can be introduced in an HTML-based email - like Java, Javascript, plugins and even the "refresh" META tag - do not display, and cannot even be enabled in KMail."

It's more monkey proof! Inconvinient? I don't receive email links to sites I want to visit that often. Anyway, it can be changed. But
default behaviour is the safest possible option,
that is trusted "click & go" - Posted by: guido_z Posted on: 07/21/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
