The only people that like Incrudimail are those that use it. If it were not
for the security and privacy features in my email client I would instantly
block email from anybody using Incrudimail.
WHY? Because Incrudimail keeps all of their smilies and other graphics on
the server at their website. Every email sent has at least one graphic in
it even if it is a single pixel graphic. (similar to the web beacons that
Yahoo uses). Every time an email is opened by a recipient, the email client
will normally go to that website to collect the graphic and download it to
recipients computer. This instantly delivers a known good email address to
Incrudimail which they can sell to advertisers, both legitimate and
spammers.
My email client blocks downloading of external data so my address and
privacy are protected.
NOTE: All email to this list is stripped to basic plain text before it is
distributed so email here is safe.

Wow, you ladies are up early this morning. Jo, it is o.k. to vent--good for
the soul! A couple of ideas: You might download Web of Trust (WOT) that
works for both IE and Firefox. That will help you to know who to trust if
you decide to do a "fix". I did this once (applied a fix found by Google)
and I first set a Restore Point before applying the fix. The fix worked.
Another idea is to try a different e-mail client. Incredimail is reported
to have improved a lot and is recommended by my stationery site
(www.thundercloud.net ) It is free. I have not tried it so can't speak from
experience. I still have Windows XP and Outlook Express. Really dread
having to go to Windows 7 but I know it will be necessary eventually.
Perhaps others will chime in who have actually used a specific fix and/or
who use Incredimail.
