<P>Mike,<BR><BR>I am still using OE. I have the option "Block images and other
external <BR>content in HTML e-mail" checked. This works for most incoming
messages and <BR>as I recall it used to work for Yahoo. It was about 5-6
months ago that <BR>messages from the Lexicog list changed in format. They had
a different font <BR>and all the images down the righthand side. I didn't
change anything in my <BR>OE, so it must be Yahoo that have changed how they
do things. I don't appear <BR>to have the options in View in OE that you have
in Thunderbird.<BR><BR>The other thing I can do to clear the unwanted Yahoo
images is to hit the <BR>reply button to read the message. That removes the
images and changes it to <BR>plain text.<BR><BR>John Roberts<BR><BR>-----

It's a "feature" of Yahoo Groups.<BR>>><BR>>> For a while now

email client may support blocking or ignoring<BR>> those
msgs.<BR>><BR>> In my case, I use the freeware Thunderbird email client.
In the Options<BR>> dlg, on the Privacy tab there's a check-box for "Block
loading of remote<BR>> images in mail messages". I think the purpose of
this is so the sender<BR>> can't find out whether you've read the email,
but it also works to turn<BR>> any pictures into simple URLs that you can
ignore quite easily, thank you.<BR>><BR>> If this isn't enough, another
setting in TBird, this one under the View<BR>> | Message Body as... menu
item, has three choices: HTML, Simple HTML,<BR>> and Plain Text. The latter
even gets rid of (in the display) the URLs<BR>> that are intended to call
up the images from Yahoo, although it leaves<BR>> hyperlinks inside text
msgs as hyperlinks.<BR>><BR>> Outlook (not sure about Outlook Express)
has a similar setting, to<BR>> display html msgs as plain text. This means
you won't see someone's<BR>> nicely formatted html msg in its nice
formatting, but I've never let<BR>> that stop me. (Outlook also tries to
remove extra blank lines, but I'm<BR>> not sure it does that very
well.)<BR>><BR>> Like I say, don't anyone tell Yahoo!<BR>> --
