    Hi all,

    I've been reading that HTML email can compromise network security. Because
    if this, some companies filter out html email. Even Microsoft has decided to
    disable the HTML function in the default installation of upcoming versions
    of Microsoft Outlook.

    I'm curious how many of you also see this as a threat to your network and
    also filter out html emails?

    I am also seeing more and more B2B marketing departments send html email
    (eNewsletters) as part of their strategy. I'm thinking that their emails
    aren't being received properly by their clients or received at all.

    What are your thoughts?

    Ron
