Default Disable In-Line Images in HTML E-mails

Hi,

Is it possible to disable images from appearing in the Outlook
2003/2007 Preview Pane, or more drastically, have the Preview Pane
work only in basic text mode?

Disable the Preview pane. Enable AutoPreview. That shows the first
few lines of each e-mail but in plain-text mode only.

Your suggestion works if a link was used to point at the image file on
some other host. If the image is inline (i.e., embedded) there is no
external link to fetch the image. As yet, the OP hasn't identified if
the images are linked (URL) or if they are attached
(disposition=attach) or inline (disposition=inline).

In OL2003, the option blocks linked images. Is there an option now in
OL2007 that also disables viewing of inline images until the user
selects to see it?

Is there an option yet to enable the embedded pictures to be shown within the
text for OL2007?

if the image is attached and embedded, there is nothing in outlook to block
them. do they display if you hit forward?

if the image is just attached, they will preview in the reading pane when
selected.

you can disable external content but not images that are included in the
message (as most spam is now).

you can convert all mail to plain text but can't say 'plain text in reading
pane but html if I open' - however its really easy to switch to html per
message as needed - just click in the infobar. tools, trust center, email
security in outlook 2007. it's in tools, options in 2003.
