Check Spam - Normal [HTML] View

Check Spam provides support for viewing HTML mail as your normal email client displays it without the security problems many email clients are known to have. The ONLY thing SpamX CANNOT avoid are entries in the server logs where images reside when those images are accessed over the Internet which means "Web Bugs" can still reveal that the spam was received and the IP address that viewed it but NOTHING ELSE. It is a good idea to use Normal [HTML] view with a great deal of reserve for that reason alone unless you "just HAVE to see" what it looks like [for most spam it's not worth it, anyway - It's spam, right!?]. Normal [HTML] mode is intentionally limited in SpamX so that the ordinary exploits found elsewhere will not work - Clicking on links does nothing, for example, nor does SpamX support attachments, embedded images or other files in the spam. If the intercepted file turns out to be one you REALLY want, use Resend to add the sender's address to the Friends file and send the mail to your regular email client.

Check Spam display
Item	Description
Controls	The buttons at the top of the Check Spam window all operate on the currently selected spam except, of course, the ones labeled "Empty Trash" and "Quit".
Spam List	The Spam List displays the list of spams intercepted by SpamX just like a normal email client. The list is sorted by date RECEIVED with the most recent at the top. Note that this may be different than the date shown in the Date field as many spammers set the date on their computer FAR AHEAD of the real date in an attempt to keep their spam at the TOP of a date sorted inbox. Selecting a spam in the list displays the contents of the spam in the Contents area.
Contents Area	Displays the contents of the email selected in the Spam List. The Contents Area supports viewing the email with all headers [Source Mode] and viewing just the contents of the mail without headers [Normal Mode]. Normal Mode viewing supports HTML mail if the mail is in that format while Source Mode is a text-based viewing mode.
Folder List	The Folder List on the left of the Check Spam window contains the Inbox, Trash and Sent folders which may be selected to show the contents of the selected folder in the Spam List.
Info Area	The Info Area at the bottom of the Check Spam window displays the current spams directory, the number of files in the currently selected folder and the name and type [format] of the currently selected spam.
