I am having the same problem, and would like to see this thread not die until
we find a resolution.

I can confirm everything that JDM9999 has, although I have not performed the
test of sending myself mail with IMG tags.

Using Outlook2003 as part of Office 2003 Professional and it is updated with
everything currently available from the OfficeUpdate site as of 11/11/2004.
The Outlook info given is Microsoft Office Outlook Version 11, Build 6353.

Also running on WinXP Pro SP2 Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600.

Images embedded in HTML e-mail download and display automatically, even
though I have SELECTED the "Don't download pictures or other content
automatically in HTML e-mail" option and CLEARED the "Permit downloads in
e-mail messages from ... Safe Senders" sub-option and CLEARED the "Permit
downloads from ... Trusted Zone" sub-option under "Tools > Options > Security
Change Automatic Picture Download Settings."

All images display in all messages, in both the reading pane and in the
regular reader window. I observe this behavior every time, on every incoming
HTML message that contains IMG tags.

I can confirm from my firewall's connection logs that the images are indeed
being fetched from the remote web server every time I view (or preview) the
message.

Furthermore, when I forward an IMG-containing message, I get no warning
message (despite having SELECTED the "Warn me before downloading content when
editing..." option. In addition, the IMG tags are forwarded as-is despite
having SELECTED the "When an HTML message contains pictures..." option under
"Tools > Options > Mail Format > Internet Format" -- the reference to the
location of the pictures is forwarded rather than a copy of the pictures.

I have tried clearing and reselecting all the appropriate option boxes,
restarting Outlook, rebooting, clearing the cache, etc., with no change in
behavior.

Why is Outlook ignoring my security preferences?


Configuration:
Outlook 2003 (build 11.6359.6360) SP1
MS Office SBE
Windows XP Pro 2002 SP2</blockquote>

There has been no satisfactory reply to this and it seems that the message
is so far down the list that it will no longer recieve any attention. Does
anyone have an answer??
