Block all images in email

Post by mikebravo »

Hi, I still get images in some emails when I have 'don't show external images in messages' selected in options. Is there any way to block all images?

When first you get an imge in an email, you will be asked "show pictures- temporarily/permanent" for this sender. You possibly clicked "permanently". To reset, go to Tools/options/Mail/Display & Compose and UNCHECK "Don´t show external images in messages", save this, and check it again. Then this option is reset for all emails.

Thanks for the suggestions but I don't believe I have ever clicked on the bar that says 'click to load e-mail images' and have never been asked to "show pictures- temporarily/permanent" for this sender but tried uncheck and recheck "Don´t show external images in messages" and straight away got an email about my account on opera browser with a background image.
We live in a rural area with very poor internet and some of the unnecessary rubbish that is put in emails and web pages can really slow things down.

It is possible that certain images in the emails are directly embedded and thus do not require internet access. To confirm, I kindly request that you forward a couple of these emails (exported as EMIL files) to ms via private message here on the forum. This will allow us to analyze the emails and identify the underlying cause.

I can only find one at the moment and it is not a very good example.
Do I just put 'ms' as the recipient in a private message?

You should select me "admin" as a recipient. Thanks.
