Webmail could display html email by default

[Gman]

A suggestion...

That Horde, SquirrelMail and RoundCube display html email by default. For example, currently in SquirrelMail a user has to go to their 'Option' and check that 'html email can display' and then check 'download attached email images'. Even after those steps, html email does not display in SquirrelMail by default. Each time you open up another html email all images are converted to an image that says, 'This image remove for security reasons'. So, you have to click on a link at the top of the email that says, 'Display images removed for security reasons'. Then everything displays. You have to do this for each html email you view.

It's a pain and we have a few customers who have sales reps on the road and only use Webmail. They constantly don't remember, understand, etc. why they can view html email they recieve and why the 'image removed for security reasons' image keeps displaying in their email. There's got to be a better solution.

I think it's worth wild looking into.

Thanks for all you do.

I get your point, as kobra describes is correct, however I suppose it is ok if using internet cafes using that method, but downloading or even opening those images not coming from a reputable source on your home pc or your laptop could give you a whole heap of problems, those spam guys out there are very clever
