Hi, Gary-

I'm working on it. I believe they are starting to get it, and they said they are working on a fix that should be out "soon". There are several ways to fix it, and they need to decide how to proceed:

- Change the carets to &lt; and &gt; - They have some concerns about this in messages where the < and > do not indicate HTML tags.

- Set the default to text-only if you are worried about the problem - This makes HTML messages - which are most messages these days - ugly, and requires switching manually to HTML mode to view messages. With most of my users, this would not last a day.

- (My suggestion) Auto-switch the reader mode to HTML mode for HTML messages and text-only for text messages, and disable html mode entirely when a text message is being viewed.

- Probably there are others, and the final solution may be something completely different.

Dave,

Here is the latest reply I received from SmarterTools Regarding this issue:

"This has been verified as intended action. We do not see this as a bug. If you feel it is a security hazard, do not view HTML messages. Within SmarterMail, simply set the default view to Plain Text, and not HTML. If you feel a message is safe, view it in the HTML mode manually."

Maybe you will have better lunk convincing them otherwise.

Gary
