Folks,

In Outlook 2003, I received email from a colleague which it self
originated as HTML email from a third party. I normally do not download
HTML elements due to security concerns.

When I tried to "reply" to my colleague, Outlook insisted that I
download the elements contained in the email, including those elements
which were part of the original message at the bottom by the third party.

Is this normal? Doesn't seem right that I should be denied ability to
send this mail without having downloaded all components. Seems like
Outlook should strip out all external references if I tell it to. I've
looked for settings in Tools/Options to control this and permit me to do
this, can't find.

thanks,
