Disadvantages:
If recipients view their messages off-line, they won't be able to see any of your photos or images.

When recipients closed their email program and later reopen and view the message off-line, they won't be able to see any images.

If your ISP charges you by the amount of bandwidth used, additional bandwidth will be incurred because of images being downloaded from your site.

Unless your message are for short-time consumption and if you don't intend to store those images in files, your recipients won't be able to see the images again whey they decide to view the message at a later date.

How to embed command into images?

3	you will see a square box with an X (off-line) and...
4	you will see an alternate text Planet Earth instead of an image when off-line if you have insert an alternate text

It is recommended to have an alternative representation to any photos or images, so that when your message is viewed off-line a text description (see image four) can be seen instead of just an empty box with an X (image three).

Important notes
Now-a-days, email recipients are fully aware that:

HTML email is not as secure as plain-text because when it is viewed or preview, messages containing embedded commands will auto "pop-up" annoying Ads, connect their browser to sites without choice, activate tracking scripts, codes, cookies, viruses and all kinds of embedded web bugs and gadgets.

Web bugs are small graphic images inserted into web pages, emails and HTML or web documents to allow companies to gather information about you without your knowledge.

Recipients retaliate by viewing emails off-line and have the pleasure of knowing that they can't be tracked or download all embedded gadgets and images.

Outlook Express users don't even need to disconnect their always-on Internet connection; they simple double click on the icon at the taskbar to be off-line.
