It's making life difficult, to say the least.

We streamlined a lot of our correspondence by using HTML in e-mail...now it is text-only and we've gone back to including attachments instead of links.

The load on our Outlook Server has gone way up - many of the documents we attach are 2-5 Mbytes in size and go to multiple recipients.

In Outlook, your emails can be formatted in HTML OR with Word.

HTML has some serious holes in it and unless the firewall grabs it, there can be active content within that HTML.

what is HTML-based e-mail, exactly?

Well, I am not a tech geek, so someone will probably correct me, but I am in the Navy and was familiar with all of this already. In fact I am surprised that this even made the news.

Basically, "HTML email" refers to the encoding of the email text, and the ability to embed HTML links or graphics in an email message. All of our email is now text only, if we receive an email from someone with links, the links are disabled, and we only see text. Also, graphics are disabled, so if someone were to send an image embedded in an email, all we see is the file name of the original image.

As for web mail, such as Gmail, or Yahoo email accounts, they have been banned for a long time, at least at my command.

Golden Iggle...the resident "expert" on everything...who (allegedly) lives in a 3-story condo by the beach...who (supposedly) has a wife who still looks like a supermodel...no one more clueless you will ever find!
