Re: Ummmmmmm ok.
bebenj1: So what if you have outlook 2003 set to automatically block the display of images in the preview pane? Would it not then block the webbug and defeat the purpose of this program?
Also, even if it does contain HTML tags that are not as you say part of the original message, how are they spy or malware?
I thought that the tracking feature was how this software worked..
Or are you saying that anyone who uses a webbug or adds extra HTML code to an email message is a spammer or ???

Neither of us ever said that those HTML tags were spyware; by most definitions of the word, they aren't. They certainly *are* being used to spy on people, though.

Again, the assertion was not that all users of this service are spammers. Most of them probably aren't. It was that users of this service and other services like it are using some of the same tricks that are frequently used by spammers to track their victims; which they definitely are. |
