| 323021 | 2005-02-09 10:06:00 | i read somewhere recently (PC World?) about a download that when installed will advise when an email arriving in my inbox has the unwelcome "DidTheyReadIt" web-bug attached. Can someone pse tell me where to find the counter measure to this intrusion. | timmy5953 (6846) | ||
| 323022 | 2005-02-09 10:23:00 | I imagine it is when someone send you mail with HTML that has an image link back to a web server. Telling your email client not to display HTML is probably a good start (perosnally I just trash such messages without reading them). heres a link (email.about.com) - not a pc world one though. |

| 323027 | 2005-02-09 21:15:00 | Why not. | Safari (3993) | ||
| 323028 | 2005-02-09 21:35:00 | It's a security feature, it won't download remote images without you allowing it. That is how most of those e-mail trackers work, a tiny link to a 1pixel white .gif which is tagged to log when someone hits it. | ninja (1671) | ||
| 323029 | 2005-02-09 22:03:00 | But you would still need to select that option like any other mail program would you not or is it on by default. | Safari (3993) | ||
| 323030 | 2005-02-10 07:38:00 | By default. | ninja (1671) | ||
