How do I prevent images from automatically loading in messages?
If you are concerned about your privacy or the possibility of increased spam, then you might want to block images that are sent to you in messages. Some spammers use images to find out if an email address is working. If the image loads, the web server that hosts the image reports to the spammer that the email address is active and you might be sent even more spam. You can prevent images from loading in messages by using a setting in the Web Preferences menu. Next to HTML Messages, select Block images until requested (view a tutorial with a screenshot of the Web Preferences menu). If you receive an email message with images from a trusted sender, such as newsletter to which you subscribe, then you can click Show Images at the top of the screen to view the images.
