This raises a question.  Thunderbird shows the message in the preview 
pane but only as regular text, unless the sender is in my address book 
or is a sender I have said I trust.

Does that protect me from the issues being discussed?

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.

You may have only thought you didn't read it.  Some email clients will put 
the
contents of an email into another window (sometimes called the "preview"
window) if you so much as click on it once to prepare to flag it for 
deletion.
 Typically I move the window border so close to the next border that I don't
notice this feature.

I've cc'd you this to attach a visual.
