Noticed "downloading" at each keystroke

When accessing my email account from their website, I noticed that at each keystroke when I type in my address to login, the cursor turns into an hourglass for a split second and I see that IE is "Downloading picture 'https://webmail.*******.net/wam/images/*******/email_errbox_RED.gif"

Is this anything to be wary of?

edit: customer service says "it's nothing to be worried about".

 

Doesnt seem like that should be happening.

Go to anothet PC and login...see if the same thing occurs.

Also, try a log in with a different browser.

This is due to a bad programming practice in some javascript code. Nothing to be worried about (besides that you're using a mail client that has bad programmers on their staff).

Thanks, that's comforting -- I guess
