The images are blocked for your protection.
From Marc Liron's website (Microsoft MVP - Digital Media): "Don’t Download External HTML Content Spammers send their emails to millions of addresses at the same time. They usually have no idea if your email address is valid or not. However if you are using Outlook Express to view your email as HTML. The spammer will instantly know if your email address is valid when you open it. You see spammers include a small graphic in the email that is "pulled" down from their servers to your computer. When this happens they KNOW your email address is real and active! So you get MORE SPAM!!! Microsoft have included a NEW option to BLOCK all external content in an HTML e-mail, this option is turned ON by default in Windows XP Service Pack 2 It can be found by navigating to the Tools menu, selecting Options, and then clicking the Security tab. You will now see the NEW "Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail" check box. Now to those of you that like to receive your HTML emails, this may seem a bit restrictive. BUT please DO NOT go and uncheck the "Block images and other external content in HTML e-mail" check box. To download external content for an individual e-mail message, and so view the HTML e-mail as it was intended to view it, click the *External Message Information Bar to download the external content that was included with the message." --- Ted Zieglar "Backup is a computer user's best friend." bill wrote: Images blocked.........error msg with some emails and I have to click the line to have images open/. Is there a way to have it open each time without me having to click the line? I use OE 6.0 and WIN XP Home Edition Sp2. tks all bill |
