if mail clients could display html mail in a  "secure" way I
wouldn't be so against it. that is do not load ANYTHING that
is not included with the message itself. and maybe even display
a big flashing warning when you click on something in an html
email(which could then be disabled ..).


Pegasus Mail under WINE will display HTML mail using only contained images. Not an OpenSource solution, but ....


Mozilla[rather mozilla-snapshot] has a preference to do this[under Privacy->Images in Preferences]. It also has a concept of "simple html"[View->Message Body As] which strips out a lot of the tags/attributes that it considers potentially dangerous and is essentially "secure". I pretty much oscillate between simple html and plain text and almost never view an e-mail as "Original Html"...
