If you want remote images to appear in email, i.e. images that are linked in the email and hosted on remote servers, you need to open the address book and edit the properties of the sender. In there is a check box for allow remote content. This will make the change for that address only. This is really what you want. Allowing remote images to load as a blanket statement is only inviting more spam as they will be able to verify what email addresses are getting the spam when those images load using the specially crafted unique URL's in each email. Is this something new in SM 2.n? -- I don't remember seeing it in earlier versions. Just checked -- in SM 1.n, the checkbox option was Allow remote images in HTML mail; in SM 2.n, the option is Allow remote content. Apparently this is more than a changed name; the behavior is different. Checking this box for senders of the various emails I've been having trouble with DOES solve the problem when the next email is received (it has not effect on emails previously received). Thanks everyone for helping me figure this out! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

How are you handling messages that arrive in both text and HTML versions? If you're displaying the text version, there will be no images. Two things are required here: 1. Was the message sent as HTML, or ASCII text? I assume HTML, since they contain inline graphics that have always displayed properly in Seamonkey and other browsers. 2. If the message was sent in HTML and the image was inserted Inline the image will appear inline with the messenger text and in an attachment box. 2. If the message was sent in ASCII text and the image was attached to the message a small attachment box will appear asking you what you wish to do with the image file. This is the behavior I'm used to -- but in both of my SM 2.x installations, a whole group of similar emails don't work that way anymore. When I open those same emails in 1.1.18, they display fine, so I assume the problem is in my new profile or in a setting that I've missed. In PREFERENCES | MAIL NEWSGROUPS | MESSAGE DISPLAY | BLOCK IMAGES AND OTHER CONTENT FROM REMOTE SOURCES, checking or unchecking this option makes no difference. I'm stumped! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
