Re: images

There's no preference to change...yet. By design, Entourage never downloads
images in an email. This is done to prevent what often essentially is a
confirmation to the sender of that email that it was received -- thus
validating your email address to the spammer (if such mail is spam). The
result? You'll likely get even more spam.

To get images, you must click the "Download images" link at the top of each
email message that contains red Xs. A slight annoyance, but most on this
board agree that doing it this way gives YOU control over which email
senders you confirm information to.

The bottom line? If you recognize the email as valid (i.e., not spam), then
click the link and download the images. If not, then simply delete the
message and you won't be risking a confirmation you don't want to give.

This is a hotly debated topic among Entourage users, so it's (our) hunch
that a future version of Outlook might give users the ability to
automatically download these images as part of the Preferences.

I, for one, won't be doing that. I like it just the way it is.
