Now first off I don't mind the pictures in this one, but outlook used to
give me the option of right-hand clicking and choosing to download the
pictures. I no longer get that option.

I have no one in my safe user list...

any more ideas.. As I said I no longer get the option to choose to download
these pictures. outlook will just automatically download them
