435006	2006-03-02 08:08:00	Many years ago I persuaded a daughter not to use INCREDIMAIL and now I am 80 I have forgotten WHY? COULD you please advise me why not to use incredimail and if you do think it is very worth while please tell me too. THANKS. :badpc: In the search menu there appears to be a lot missing!!!	olldaddy78 (6546)
435007	2006-03-02 08:37:00	The single reason I would never use it, it that all commercial and many home setups detect all the crap that comes with it (HTML coded junk) as spam, and it gets binned. I found a company using it a while back, then wondering why their emails did not get through to anyone. Even my email program was binning them. Also: Anyone with a correctly configured secure system will not see the bells and whistles in the Incredimail emails, as they are stripped out with blocking of HTML The emails are about 7 times larger in file size, for no benefit. Its invasive and a pain to ever try to remove when you have to. Enough reasons?	godfather (25)
435008	2006-03-02 08:45:00	I would have thought most home users didn't block HTML.	Cicero (40)
435009	2006-03-02 08:48:00	So would I. I don't think most home users would even know how to stop their email client from loading HTML emails.	maccrazy (6741)
435010	2006-03-02 09:35:00	So would I. I don't think most home users would even know how to stop their email client from loading HTML emails. Wrong, anyone who reads here knows to block html emails. :2cents: LOL	supergran (108)
435011	2006-03-02 20:37:00	godfather has good points about incredimail, it has a huge amount of graphics animatioins etc, all designed to smarten up e-mails. It uses quite a lot of computer resouces, so it pays to have a computer with bit of strength, as it tends to slow on computers with low memory I'ts designed primarly for the domestic, and personal e-mails, amd it pays to send in plain text, any commercial e-mails, as e-mails with graphics are normally blocked at the other end. Uninstalling is not clean and a search of the computer is required afterwards. Having said all that, I have used it for several years, grandkids, elderly, and friends delight in recieving e-mails with funnies, as it reflects moods, etc. It informs when e-mail arrives, it allows checking mail on the server, before downloading, and will bounce and block e-mails as required. hope this helps, Robby	Robby (3123)

435013	2006-03-03 00:05:00	It can look like "kinda fun" the first time you get an email via Incredimail. By the time you've had dozens from the same person - always with intrusive jumping jiggling smileys/caricatures at the bottom, no matter what the content - it gets really irritating. What's more, the sender may not even know that's going out on every email - unless there are complaints - so it's possible to annoy friends unwittingly for ages after the initial "fun." A trap for young players...	Laura (43)
435014	2006-03-03 02:23:00	... designed to smarten up e-mails. "Smarten up"? Wouldn't "dumb down", be more apt? However, with presentation like that, who needs content?	Graham L (2)
435015	2006-03-03 05:57:00	Anyone sending me mail with incredimail gets added to my blocked users list Don't care who they are, it's trash	bartsdadhomer (80)
