I have to click the "download pictures" button everytime I read an email
with graphics. The prefs says this is a feature to protect my privacy; I'm
finding it a frustrating annoyance. How do I set entourage to download the
graphics automatically, without having to add to my address book?

It¹s doing you a favor.

One of the ways spammer and wormers get you is by sending graphics that
tell your email client to send information to them. This makes that
impossible unless you already know them. I like it.

Agree it¹s an annoyance sometimes, but spam and intrusion is a much bigger
one.


Best,

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
trustworthy AND untrustworthy sources will be downloaded.
