My ISP is now blocking HTML emails from being viewed in their
provided webmail interface. Previously you were able to view
HTML emails with the images removed for security reasons and
you could choose to view "unsafe images" (all images were defined
as unsafe.) Now you have to download the HTML to your computer if
you want to see the crapola that people send you.

The very concept of "unsafe images" would bewilder many computer users
who seem to think that more complex images, images, animations, are the
only way to communicate effectively.
