I was also concerned that I might have to have a bunch of e-mail
addresses in my contacts so that pictures would download
automatically. However, as it turns out, the "Safe Domains" feature
for Junk works for automatic picture downloading.
Here's what to do:
1. In Entourage 2004, go to Tools -> Junk Email Protection...
2. Click on the "Safe Domains" tab
3. In the Safe Domains dialog box, type in the domain names for each
address that you'd like to be exempt from being declared as Junk *and*
those you'd like to have pictures automatically download in their
messages. Separate each domain with a comma.
4. Click the OK button
5. Close and Restart Entourage 2004 to have this take effect
immediately
So, if you receive HTML messages from
[email protected],
[email protected],
[email protected], and
[email protected] AND
you wanted to make sure those messages always downloaded the pictures
automatically, then you would only need to enter "greatstuff.com,
mysupplier.com" (minus the quotes) into the "Safe Domains" box. All
messages from those domains (including any future letters from - for
example -
[email protected]) would not be treated as Junk and also
have pictures downloaded automatically.
NOTE: Due to their frequent use by spammers, I would recommend against
adding yahoo.com or hotmail.com to your Safe Domains list.
Hope this helps. - SM
