As long as the ability to determine (before even previewing any email)
that html viewing can be disabled.

Otherwise you may find yourself a victim of the same malicious
html/javascript that afflicts OutHouse users.

There are spams getting about in quantity now which track the fact that
you viewed it using a Russian spy log website. This thing even gets
your timezone setting and sends it to the logging site.

Who knows what info they'll get at next. Maybe it will trigger an
outbound email of its own?

Sigh... Note my sig.
