In Outlook 2003, there was an option to "trust sender" (paraphrased) when
you right-clicked on a picture embedded in an e-mail. This was useful,
especially when receiving e-mails from banks and companies you do business
with regularly. Outlook 2007 doesn't seem to have this. How do I make
Outlook remember that it is OK to download pictures from senders that I
trust?
In OL2003, you would add the trusted sender to your Safe Sender list, or
you would add a contact record for them and then enable the "Also trust
e-mail from my Contacts" option in the Safe Sender list.
Actions -> Junk E-mail -> Junk E-mail Options -> Safe Senders tab
- "Also trust e-mail from my Contacts"
Enable
Only works on entries in your Contacts folder, not on entries in other
contact-type folders.
Tools -> Options -> Security tab -> Change Automatic Download Settings
- Don't download pictures or other content automatically in HTML e-mail
Enable
- Permit downloads in e-mail messages from senders and to recipients
defined in the Safe Senders and Safe Recipients Lists used by the junk
filter
Enable (disabled by default)
Of course, just because you personally trust the person doesn't mean you
should really be trusting everything they send in an e-mail. After all,
even the best experts can get infected or end up forwarding an e-mail
that contains a web beacon.
The above navigation for options is for OL2003. Navigation will be
different in OL2007 but similar options should be available.
