With Pegasus Email you are defiantly protected.  It doesn't make any 
difference if you are using plain text or HTML. By default Pegasus 
doesn't retrieve any links to render HTML unless you make an effort 
to either turn on the feature or right click and select Show Pictures.  It 
doesn't make any difference if a user is in the address book or not.  
Pegasus doesn't auto execute any files.  Which means if someone 
sends you a virus in order for it to run you have to make an effort to 
select an attachment and run it.  Pegasus doesn't send anything 
when you delete an email.  The only way to confirm delivery or 
reading of an email is you have to make an effort to turn on that 
feature.  Pegasus is the safest email client available.  And it's free.

Sorry.  I just couldn't sit back and be quiet any longer while you all try 
to figure out what is safe and what isn't.  There isn't any guess work in 
Pegasus.  If you want to expose yourself you can with plain and 
simple options that you select.  No guess work involved.

Be safe stop playing with fire.

happy user.
