I've never been able to find the setting for this in Netscape.

The best way to configure Netscape mail is to drag it into the trash and
download Thunderbird instead :-)

I'm running T-bird. Couldn't find the HTML setting in question there either?

Not surprising. Netscape is just Mozilla repackaged.

It doesn't matter what the software package is -- you'll always find some clown
who will badmouth it.

Drink up, Socrates -- it's all-natural.

A comment about "preview windows" in email clients (Eudora, Outlook,
etc)..... if you have the preview window enabled, the client has to
render (executing anything allowed, in the process) whatever HTML might
be in the message to populate the preview. By the time you decide the
message is Something Bad, its too late.

Bottom line is that a preview window is a security risk. Be aware of
what is allowed to execute (Active X, Java, whatever,) and take
appropriate precautions if you use this feature.

True story, the problem was because the electricity was off, and the
computer owner thought it should work without any...

Tech was fired over that comment too...

Urban legend does not necessiarly mean it's false. It may have been
repeated so often as to have taken on a life of its own.
