That would work for some of the key pieces of info in the email. But, stripped-down text emails don't have an ability to ensure whatever "open rate" metrics used by the sender(s) are activated - to indicate the email has been opened, and also possibly acted upon - which will be script#2 of this project. If we use HTML, all metrics are covered. But, I don't know what I might do to accomplish the same thing using a text email. The emails are coming from a variety of senders, and the goal is to be able to handle anything sent to us. So, we can't look for a specific image, or a specific domain. We have to be fairly generic. confusor

Hi I'm new to scripting, and am slowly figuring out the basics. But, I'm running into a problem I'm not sure how to fix - or if I even *truly* want to. Until I figure out how to do this in ME, I plan on using a separate program to download email HTML files into a directory, named in sequence...text_html1.html, text_html2.html etc. The files can come in large bursts, or trickle in. My goal is to open them with a browser window, locally. But, IE6 on XP SP2 of course wants to prevent me from running content that could be harmful - even locally. The files do come from just about anywhere - I have no way to be sure they're safe in terms of malicious code. In fact, I must assume they aren't safe. But, I DO need to open the files, and am unsure how to automate this without potentially opening up access that (at times) I shouldn't. The machine is dedicated for this task. Nothing else important on it - although it is on a network. Any ideas on how to code the "ok to run" portion without enabling lots of other things, like installing ActiveX, etc? Thanks, confusor
