Is there a way to tell Entourage to download pictures in email messages by
default rather than having to do it for each message?

TIA,

Hello again,
googling the Entourage newsgroup
<http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage>
for anything like "automatically download pictures" should bring up quite a
large number of posts in which this feature is described. Here's what I
replied to someone who asked a similar question about a month ago:

The non-displaying of images is meant to protect your privacy, to prevent
spammers from knowing that your account is active. However, Entourage
displays messages completely, i.e. without asking you to download the
pictures, if the sender is in your address book. (*And* if you have enabled
this feature, under Preferences, section "Security", checkbox "Automatically
download pictures from my Address Book contacts".) Additionally, there's a
white list in Entourage. Go to Tools>Junk E-Mail Protection, and choose
"Safe Domains". In the field that shows up, you can add domain names that
you know to be safe, and Entourage will from that moment on automatically
download messages coming from that e-mail domain in their entirety. If you
don't want Entourage to protect you at all, add ".net", ".org" and ".com"
(without the quotation marks) to the white list, and nearly every single
e-mail should be displayed in its entirety. I wouldn't recommend this,
however, spam can be a real problem.

Hope this was useful.

Hello Michel,

Thanks for the google link. I wasn't sure if the forums on the MS News
server that was set up by default in Entourage would be visible there. I
found a good article on Mailing List Manager and downloading pictures, so
I'm pretty well set.

I'm not crazy about this solution either. I don't think there are *any*
truly safe domains. I think the address book and mailing list solutions are
what I'm looking for.

Thanks again,
Scott
