And the HTML code sample you provided is exactly what the option
*should* block if enabled: a linked image.
<A href="http://www.codeproject.com/">
Start of the <A> tag with the external link when the image gets clicked.
<IMG height=60
src="http://www.codeproject.com/images/newsletter_header.gif?date=21/2/2005"
width=500 border=0>
Which is the EXTERNAL image that must by yanked from the server.
</A>
Closing tag.
So you confirmed that the image that should get blocked was NOT an
inline MIME part within the body of the message but instead a link back
to some server from which the file must be retrieved. Since this image
is getting through and you say the blocking option is enabled (i.e., the
"Don't download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail"
checkbox is cleared), did you check if the domain is listed in your
Trusted Sites security zone?
What do you have for the other settings noted below?
"Permit downloads in e-mail messages from senders and to recipients
defined in the Safe Senders and Safe Recipients Lists used by the Junk
E-mail filter"
"Permit downloads from Web sites in this security zone: Trusted Zone "
