I am happy to see direct options to block HTML – and all the traps that affords. It also helps immensely in dealing with spam – which I probably get more of than most people because I’ve had my email addy far longer than most and am an ISP. This can save a great deal of time – particularly if you see an email of several megabytes in size – which I often do. Only the header is downloaded to the client user, allowing the user to choose whether or not to even download it from the server (or open it.) If not – you simply delete the entry on the client and the whole of it is deleted on the server without download. Airmail opens the mail on the server and displays the sender, the subject line, the mail size, and date/time of arrival on the server. The number one issues are my time – and my protection. It was later gobbled up by AOL – and trashed, but its email client ‘Airmail’ is still my email client of choice today – for several reasons. I bought the old Internet In a Box software when it first hit the market. There was – in those heady early days of the Internet – one email client that got it right, and all the others since have not. Long ago I learned one thing about email – there is a hell of a lot of it that hits the server that you never want to take the time to download to your machine. The last thing I hoped T-Bird would be was more or less a close copy of the Netscrape and Mickysoft email clients – but that, sad to me, is what it seems headed for.
