The other thing about reading the text/plain attachment of email is no vulnerability exposure due to the HTML downloading some file (think <img or javascript) that exploits a browser vulnerability. Also the <img could be a beacon -- a tracker that notes that the email has been read and records your IP address and other browser identification that it can slurp up. You also get such increased security if you choose the HTML attachment (v command in mutt) and convert to text for viewing (with w3m or something). -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 https://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers.
