Script errors arriving in email?
Let's talk about the script errors first. They are intended for web page
designers, not end users. If you are a web page designer you want to know if
your page contains script errors so you can fix them. Otherwise, your web
page may not render (display) correctly. End users can and may as well turn
off these displays, since there isn't anything they can do about the script
errors anyway. Moreover, the alleged script errors you are seeing were also
part of a nasty fight between Microsoft and Sun.
These days, you should not be reading email in HTML. There are too many
risks of infection. Read your email in plain text. If you receive an
HTML-formatted email from someone whose identity you can confirm, and you
know in advance why the sender formatted the email in HTML, you can very
easily display the HTML formatting with ALT+SHIFT+H.

Thank you all. The recommendation by Ted Zieglar solved the problem, at
least
for the time being. I would prefer to know exactly what is causing the
problem and the precise solution so I could continue to receive mail in
html.
There are some companies whose images I like to see without going back to
make html active for that one email, i.e., Dell, WalMart, etc. There were
other good ideas but they either didn't work or I simply decided not to go
in
that direction. I think some spammers have discovered how to corrupt a
script
so that their emails intentionally cause the 'script error' pop up to
bring
attention to their ad. I've noticed quite a few folk are complaining of
scripting errors. Once again, to be able to find the precise cause and the
appropriate solution would be welcome. Maybe someone will come up with a
software program which does exactly that? Thanks again.
