My default is to display only plain text, no html, and to display attachments iconised. However, I can give further settings to a folder. I have one folder to which I direct trusted companies, where html mail is allowed to be displayed. What happens is that I see empty boxes where most of the images should be, and a warning patch at the top, like this: Note: This HTML message may contain external references to images etc. For security/privacy reasons external references are not loaded. If you trust the sender of this message then you can load the external references for this message by clicking here. A single click then allows all the images to be displayed. Note, though, that you should use such a facility with care. You have to be careful who you decide to trust and set up filters to that folder ONLY for people you can absolutely trust. HTH Anne
