I seem to recall once reading someone's analysis of why the emails end up in the Spam folder - it had to do with what words were used and how often and such. You may want to try to rewrite it - make it longer and more specific to your forum. That might help it to be accepted as 'real' email. I am not sure about why it would say it is 'unsafe'. Was this a pop-up warning or just a generic warning given to all emails that end up in the Spam folder?

I will ask my host about that as they say they are unsafe to open, really don't understand.

As for icons, if they are free to use (like the Tango Project) you can download them. But custom icons from sites (let's use vB.org as an example) that are not available for download as a package, may be copyrighted and legal action could be brought against you. Always contact the original creator of the images for permission to use them, if at all possible.

I was talking about icons from this forum which they say "download here" which allow you to download etc... and was wondering what exactly repackaging means but now I know , feel free to answer any other questions if you want.
