Rightly so.

I am aware of that. But I wanted to say to Xavier that he (I.M.O.)
shouldn't force a threat mode on the recipient: the recipient
should be able to override that by disabling a tempest viewer if so
desired or saving to disk if in his opinion such is safe enough,
notwithstanding the wishes of the sender.

But I'm under the impression that we are in agreement on that.

Best regards,
