Gnus does not auto-load images for mail groups because this is a way to track you; having a mail user load an image from a unique url is a classic spammer's tactic to know whether a message has been received. See the variable `gnus-blocked-images'. By default this is set to call the function `gnus-block-private-groups', which loads images only in news (NNTP, RSS, etc.) groups. Because these messages are sent to many recipients, the possibility of tracking one user with a special image URL doesn't exist. If you set `gnus-blocked-images' to nil, this would remove the block, but also put you at risk for this spamming tactic. I would recommend just keeping the default and clicking on the link to manually view the image, after you determine that it's from someone you actually know and not a piece of spam or a phishing message that got through filters. -- Best, WGG _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
