[pmmail-list] HTML version

[Paul D.J. de Vos]

Actually, I am quite happy with PMMail NOT being able to parse HTML mail=
 fully.
Too many worms, viruses etc. are being distributed in HTML mails these d=
ays.
Just two days ago PMMail saved my ass when I was being too doubleclick-h=
appy
and inadvertently opened a message containing Klez.F. Nothing happened, =
thanks
to the incomplete parsing. I think my virus software would have intercep=
ted the
worm as soon as it was created, but I can't be sure and frankly don't wa=
nt to
experiment.

I have now written a filter, as suggested by someone on this list a few =
days
ago (the correct syntax is body.SUBtype=3D"html" by the way), which puts=

large-sized html messages without attachments in a 'quarantine' director=
y.

By the way, is it safe to have PMMail 'disconnect' attachment files and =
place
them in a dedicated directory automatically upon receipt? Or could this =
get
them automatically 'executed' somehow (I cannot think of a way besides r=
ogue
HTML code, but I may be naive)?

met vriendelijke groeten,
yours sincerely,
