Because it's a huge security problem. In particular, spammers can use the fact that you have accessed these remote images as a way of tracking that you have opened the mail - this in turn means that you have confirmed your E-mail address, and will receive much more spam. The file sqwebmail/SECURITY in the source tarball explains it, see "Browser Security - HTML" I think you should be able to click on the link to see the image, if you really want to see it. > Where can I enable this?

Is there something like that? http://www.mail-archive.com/sqwebmail%40inter7.com/ is one (there are others) Regards, Brian.
