I don't see how an HTML message could possibly

you have a horribly broken mailreader. It's simply markup, like SGML or
TeX or whatever (or at least, the mail reader should treat it as simply

is an issue, but I don't expect anyone on this list to be including
image bugs in their emails.
An HTML message can contain a JavaScript program, or an iframe with an
executable in it. Klez spreads by sending HTML messages with executables in
iframes, though Klez is filtered out before it reaches my inbox.
