How do you make it so that I do not have to hit/select the "Download
Pictures" for every e-mail I receive?

It is very annying to have to hit the "download pictures" link for
very e-mail that is sent.

Add the senders to your Address Book or Mailing List Manager.

Keep in mind this is a security feature. There are harmful images out
there.

This may be a security measure, but surely it should be in the user's
control to decide whether the security benefit in their case outweighs
the hassle and time wasted in having to click on the tiny link in
every HTML message when you want to see the images? It really is
rather anti-user-friendly and dis-empowering to take away the user's
choice in this matter.

In addition, the way in which this "feature" is implemented really
hasn't had much thought:

1. The link provided to display messages is way too small - why
couldn't it have been a button?
2. Why is there no command key equivalent? The omission of this really
is stupid - or if there actually is a command key equivalent that I
don't know about, the command should be in a menu somewhere so that
it's obvious what that equivalent is, or displayed after the text in
the Download Pictures link (like "Download Pictures (Cmd-Space)" or
whatever).
3. There should be a way of adding HTML email sender's addresses to a
different list than the contacts database. I really don't want my
contact database to be filled up with email addresses that I will
NEVER want to use from a new mail message. And adding the domain to
the exclusion list seems to be a real sledgehammer to crack a nut
approach.

I agree to all you say and would add that once again the guru/techies
add features that the paying customers do not need or want.

The blocking of photos and graphics is a silly and very annoying
feature for those that view (& SEND!!) html e-mail.

Let's hope the MS Office folks see the light (& the html photos!).

I don't mind having these photo's in,If it doesn't interest me what's on the
pics I simply delete it or spam it so....a bit strange but it also holds
back HTML mails I want to see...so please get rid if this measure in
Entourage.
