Entourage handling HTML mail

It is a pity that Microsoft has such limited abilities that Entourage now fails
to properly handle html mail. It won't download images until you click the
hyperlink, then it only downloads half the graphic and stops. This is really
annoying and I wish there was a way to change this option but can't find
anything in the preferences.

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.


I have not seen any problems with images being half downloaded.
