1. Open Outlook 2010.

2. Go to the Ribbon and select File.

3. Click Options.

4. In the left pane, select Trust Center.

5. Click the Trust Center Settings button.

6. Select Automatic Download from the left pane.

7. Uncheck the Don’t download pictures automatically in HTML e-mail messages or RSS items checkbox.

8. Click OK.

9. Click OK to close the Outlook Options window.
