I hadn't heard about older versions of Exchange doing this. I have put
this on the tasklist of the people planning on integrating Exchange
2000. I want a confirmation and when it is confirmed I will make a lot
of trouble about this.

I will remember this DLL.

I even think it is against Dutch privacy laws but I have to confirm this
too.

They don't even have to keep a website for the "marked" pictures they
include in their spam for outlook to download. But the spammers address
will be visible wouldn't it?

But this is becoming OT in this list. Any replies and questions please
directly to me to keep the list clean.
