Default Re: OT: Interesting Emails

Yep...

Now that I use Mozilla for my email instead of Outlook Bug-Express I have set it to NOT load images and other URLs in emails. You are just telling the spammers that they have a live one when you look at the email unless you deliberately disconnect before viewing it.

I generally get several spam Messages a day but nothing like what most people get. I managed to keep my email address very private/restricted for a long time so I didn't get much spam and was still using OE out of habit/inertia. But I got a 'phishing' attack email that loaded some sort of automatic script (invoking IE despite my default browser being Mozilla) and tried to send me to a website in China a few months ago and that was it for OE. Now I'm using Mozilla and Mozilla mail exclusively. No more Ieeee or Oeeee problems for meeee!
