The key word in that option is EXTERNAL. It means that the e-mail has a
link to an image on a web server. It does not apply to images included
in the e-mail itself.

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?
I'm using OE6 with XP SP2.
Thanks if you can clarify this (unconfuse me).

Thanks for the replies - all much clearer now. I had been running
(unknowingly) with 'read messages as plain text' set on as well as Block
Images which stopped any image display at all. After a bit of
experimentation I can now see the effect of each setting.
