Hi Erlik, Very good points. I use Netscape mail as that doesn't have the same problems with html mail. Very old version that doesn't support frames either.I use lots of anti-spam filters as well. Plus Zone alarm seems to stop the use of 1x1 web-bugs. Typically mails like this are one line like "your password attached" and it's obvious it's a nasty So normally I don't fall for this type of mail, but this one was very clever as it alludes to the kind of work artists do. Very good peice of social enginnering and I admit it caught me. Lucikly AVG blocked the nasty. I guess all we can do is keeping using the right kind of tools and follow our common sense. Al
