Speaking only for myself, I read mail in Pine, which is an old-style
all-text Unix mail program, incapable of displaying images or getting
infected with Melissa.

Therefore, when an image comes through the list, I save it to the images
directory of my web site, and view the image in Netscape, which I almost
always have running in another window while I'm reading mail.

Only trouble is that BP and other random images accumulate there if not
deleted.  I suppose I could set up a gallery of BP images on my site, were
it not for the copyright problems.
