I see you're right. I would really like to understand this. But i don't know
how to unencode it, and neither gzip nor unzip recognize it valid, and 'less'
shows up only the same stuff as is. And, how can i view a different charset ?
Never got such to do.

True. I read it up in KHelp. There's no information about the downloading
procedure, however. I wondered if it calls one of my standard browser's,
where Javascript sometimes IS enabled.
No, sorry, still I'm suspicious. Because i do understand too less from html
and Java.
Could be some information passed anyway: like MTA which hints the OS... at
least it validates the address and that the download works.
Leading to even more Spam ....

Yes :) thanks.
On a permanent connection, just receiving kindoff Spam may cause even gigs of
downloads then ? I never heard of such problem.
And one would deactivate the feature immediateley, of course ?!
I would like to, also !
In KMail, the only roughly appropriate chooser still isn't checked. But
apparently it didn't prevent.
Ok, anyway, i'll move to gnus for a long time now.
(yes, it's a typo, but exactly true ;-)
