Well the PDF way does not sound like what I want to do, but thanks
anyway. And I appreciate the extra feedback/concern, although I am not
sure what you specifically mean by "blacklisted", other than meaning
that a given recipient would block future messages from my address; or
is there some federal database to which you are referring? Regardless,
I really do not consider what I do to be spamming. I focus on a very,
very specific target audience so only interested parties receive
e-mail, always scaning my computer first to make sure I'm not sending
out viruses, and I always include info as to how their info was
obtained and easy instructions on how to opt out of future mailings. I
know from experience of what I've received that many true Spammers
don't take any of these extra measures.
Anyway, I'll likely just go back to sending e-mails without images
again, since I do realize that others, like myself included, use
methods to block most images in e-mails.
