standards and protocols) which is a known security issue. And its also just
a bloody annoyance.

I still really don't know why people don't do the immeasurably simpler
process and just send people a URL? Then the HTML is handled inside the
browser (where it should be) and not in an email message (where it
shouldn't)

with exact duplicates... When I pointed it out to my roommate,
he said, 'Do I know you?'
