Thanks poppysue for forwarding this to me.

He is using JavaScript to force your HTML mail user agent (Outlook Express or whatever else have you) to open a new window.

The quick and easy solution: Disable JavaScript in your browser. With JavaScript disabled, the code that is sent to you is useless and cannot execute. I'm surprised nobody has already come forward with this description.

Could someone (poppysue?) who is using Windows try this approach and let us know if this actually solves the problem?

Dave
