This is an often requested feature. To make sure your request gets to the developers (they only frequent this list infrequently, if you understand my meaning <g>) send some feedback to them directly, by using the last item under the Help menu - 'Send feedback on entourage'. Let then know you want this feature. The more people that request it the more likely they are to include it.

In a spam-free world, I would always allow access to the net when > displaying complex HTML, and I would always have the preview pane open. In > the real world, I don't want to do both of those things because 1) the > graphics links in spam may contain "web bugs" that confirm the validity of > my e-address (so the spammer can sell it), and 2) many of the spam graphics > are just plain offensive. > > When I turn off network access for displaying complex HTML, it protects me > from the nasties, but it also cripples nice messages with complex HTML (such > as newsletters from Apple). Unfortunately, the scope of the setting is > Entourage-wide; further, it appears that changing the setting from > "disallow" to "allow" requires a relaunch of Entourage to take effect. > > Another way to protect myself is to turn the preview pane off, so that > messages are never automatically displayed, but that is awkward (a paneless > pain, so to speak) when I am trying to determine if the junk filter has any > false positives. > > What I would like best is a contextual-menu item available when network > access is disallowed. The menu item would load the clicked-on graphic. A > toolbar button would load all graphics on the page. Then I could open > emails without fear, but get the nice HTML as designed with a single > additional click. > > Short of a new version of Entourage, is there any procedure or option you > think would help? Any hope from the script wizards? > > And could MBU kindly consider different scoping and affordances to deal with > complex HTML? > > -- Joshua > > > -- > To unsubscribe: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > archives: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> > old-archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
