I tend to dowload all images in most emails anyway, especially from retailers if they're offering a coupon or promotion. It's a small change, but a good one.

It's truly amazing how some posts -- by big corporations -- make it through. Oerhaps there needs to be an approval process before since something is posted since it appears that some people just lack common sense.
