OE spam question

[Laurent Herve]

How can we avoid to let spam messages display
some HTML content in OE... ? i just can figure out
how to only dowload headers for *every* message,
but it's not a handy solution ! thx,

Email has been acknowledged to be the "killer" Internet application. It
is very common for
people to send email to people they do not know very well. Very often
the email is sent using
HTML tags, and worse, as an attachment.

view > Layout > untick show preview pane (Make sure you are in your inbox as
mail and news have the same functions but have to be set separately)

Hope that was what you were after.

the best i can do, with OE 6 (on win ME) is to create
a rule for displaying or hidding messages, in

view-layout/display-personnalise display.

then i don't see anything in the box, even 300 mails.

Tools--Options--Read--Read All Messages in Plain Text

i have not that option

Sorry, my version of OE 6 don't allow me to read in plain text,
i need something like noHtmloe, for free. Its' silly that a simple
line in sed can remove all html stuff, like

sed -e 's/<[^>]*>//g' foo.html

just getting the message piped to tha before coming in oe..

When I set my OE to the settings I mentioned I get a message like this
instead of the HTML graphic.
