Outlook 2007: Download Pictures Automatically

Contributor Icon Contributed by Rob Rogers  
Tag Icon Tagged: Microsoft Outlook  

Outlook prevents the automatic download of pictures in email messages as a security measure to help prevent possible spamming. It permits images from sites in your Trusted Zone to show but blocks all others. You can override this feature by following this tech recipe:


1. Click Tools.

2. Select Trust Center.

3. In the left pane, select Automatic Download.

4. In the right pane, uncheck the Don’t download pictures automatically in HTML e-mail messages or RSS items checkbox.

5. Click OK.

Note: This recipe only works for Outlook 2007, for previous versions you will need to follow the recipe described here.
