I might want to follow your link, if I have
sufficient interest and
trust, but I want to have to make that decision *before* entering the
spy filled, all-singing, all-dancing hype arena.
I agree with this. I am not aware of a useful reader of email which
supports html that does not block offline content. Thunderbird requires
you hit a button to activate remote content. I usually forward such to
a yahoo or gmail account if I have doubts about the embedded content.
Not clear how that would help.
What are you using which allows day zero type
activation of any html
content? As I said, I don't use any web based readers or archivers for
the reason you cite, but I've never had a problem with any content.
My phone does this, for example. Though it is set up to block images,
it seems happy to run javascript and accept cookies whether I want it
to or not.
