Attached pictures in email

D

David Levesque

I just bought my first mac and it came pre-installed with the office test
drive. I have set up my email accounts and get my mail as expected except
that the pictures in html messages do not download. I have to click the link
in the message to get the pictures to download. This is in spite of the fact
that I have set the view preference to show attached pictures. What am I
missing?

A new security feature in Entourage 2004 blocks the display of pictures (and
other linked mail content) hosted on remote sites. Images can be loaded for
individual messages by clicking on the ŒDownload Pictures¹ link in the
yellow message status bar. This was a huge feature request from users that
found the all embracing ŒAll Pictures¹ or ŒNo Pictures¹ too limiting.

There is a setting in the security section of the preferences to
automatically download pictures from recipients who are in your address
book. That should suffice for most users. If you really want to download all
images from all sources, you can put ".com", ".net", ".org" etc to your list
of safe domains in the Junk Mail Protection dialog. Then, images from all
untrustworthy sources will be downloaded.
