Outlook 2003 doesn't usually automatically download pictures, which is great
in stopping the tide of spam. However, the spammers have cottoned on to this
and if they send an email which is just one picture and nothing else outlook
will download it, thus validating your email address and unleashing a torrent
of spam. This should be disabled, or the option given to disable downloading
single-picture email messages.
 
Outlook 2003 wont' download ANY web-based images unless you permit it to.
Images inserted inline are a different story but hey can't send your IP
address.
