Outlook should allow message forwarding WITHOUT downloading pics

[MBF]

I'm using Outlook 2003. I received an email that looked like fraud, using
PayPal look and feel. I was suspicious and wanted to forward it to PayPal to
let them know about it and to question whether it was legitimate. When I
clicked "forward" a window popped up saying that pictures that had been
blocked by Outlook would be downloaded. This would put me at risk for
"beacons", as described in your help files. I cancelled that action and opted
to copy and paste the page into a new message instead. When I pasted the
material into the new message, the previously-blocked pictures at that point
suddenly downloaded without my permission. I wanted to notify PayPal about
this possibly fraudulent message but couldn't do it without putting my
computer at risk.

Outlook 2007 will provide that feature.

Don't worry about notifying PayPal. They know all about phish.
