Rick,
No, not a mistake and you are right to err on the side of caution. I'm sure there might be some bots out there that scan message bodies however downloading message bodies requires far more bandwidth than just downloading headers. Where you _are_ right to be cautious is because of those viruses that scan user's Temporary Internet Files (TIF) for potential target e-mail addresses to which to send their payload. In this case addresses such as mine would be picked up if a user who had read one of my posts and not subsequently cleared their TIF was infected with such a viruses. Fortunately few if any get to my Hotmail Inbox thanks to what appears to be Hotmail's much improved spam filtering. Cheers, Mike Rick T wrote: my mistake, good to know Rick |
