Re: Blocked images with XP SP2

Thanks - it clears it up A BIT - I'm happy to accept your assurance that
blocked image files aren't piling up somewhere, to ultimately fill my email
space at my ISP so there's no room to receive any more emails - I still don't
understand why, but I can live with not understanding everything that happens
behind the scenes!

My concern was triggered by observing that, when the message bar is clicked
to show blocked images, the icon of two linked computers in the tray lights
up to show an actual download is occurring. That's different from the images
being downloaded with the email in the first place but being blocked from
display until the message bar is clicked, in which case the icon wouldn't
show any further download. Just installed SP2 a few days ago, so just started
getting the "image blocked" message, and I was anticipating a problem which
you have now assured me doesn't really exist.

As I say, I can live with not knowing exactly why there's no problem. Thanks
again.
