Ok I've seen this before set your outlook express to read in plain text but I don't understand the difference between plain txt and html and I don't understand how having mail set to html can allow web bugs. For that matter I don't know what html stands for. For us pc dummies how about a lesson please. Mine is set to plain text because of this amazing man that built my pc. Course I've always known he is amazing but not why he set certain things a certain way when he built my pc and set it up for me. I just have sense enough to not fix it if it ain't broke.
