Dubious

I LOVE that Microsoft apps always have you 'check' something like "don't download pictures"...its so backwards. its like saying "sign here to not accept this package" when UPS comes.

While I don't really care whether my pictures are embedded or not in my emails, I assure you that most people who use Outlook Express would be outraged that their pictures are not displaying in their emails and would be harassing Microsoft technical support non-stop to get a fix. It's a lot more convenient for Microsoft this way...
