Is the same logic used when the images are sent as attachments (as opposed
to embedded) ?

Some HTML spam contains a sneaky feature that verifies your address just
by viewing the page. It is these types of messages that Block Images is
supposed to block. If the format is such that it doesn't recognize a
threat, the image will not be blocked. In some cases, non-threatening
images will be blocked, bit normally, inserted jpg photos are not blocked.

If you read in Plain Text, you won't see any images.

I have turned on 'block display of images and other external content in
html email'. However I noticed that inline display of images from mail in
the inbox is only actually suppressed if I select 'read all messages in
plain text'. How is this meant to work?

Thanks if you can clarify this (unconfuse me).
