Carriers (Verizon comes to mind) that have been known to cripple or disable Bluetooth file transfer on their phones so you have to use their network (and be charged by them). Is this what you referring to?

hmmm...your last statement has a clue. All e-mail programs (that I am
familiar with) now default to NOT load embedded images, at least if the
sender isn't in your address book, much to prohibit the very behavior
you are suggesting.
Thus it would appear that this is also deviating from standard behavior.
Of course Rogers is Canadian and subject to Canadian law which is so
backward, they don't even have DMCA (yet). ;-)
