Outlook Express now has picture handling facilities similar to Outlook
2003.
This prevents senders of spam e-mail from determining whether a
recipient
opens a message. It does this by preventing the automatic display of
pictures from Internet servers. The user is presented with place holders
and
the Information Bar gives the user the option to display the picture.

Outlook Express in Windows XP SP2 will now block images automatically in
messages from people who are not in your address book.*
