Help with privacy options

[omalley1]

Is there anyway to bypass the "to protect your privacy, some pictures
in this message were not downloaded... download pictures...." I just
want to open the email and have the pictures downloaded... It gets very
old having to click everytime on that icon when i want to see all the
pictures. What can I do about this?

Quoring myself from a reply I gave yesterday:

"[...] the download pictures setting cannot be switched off; it's meant to
protect your privacy, as some HTML spam e-mails, when loaded, will reveal to
the sender that your account is active, which means you'll get much more
spam mail than before. There is a setting in the preferences (security
section) to automatically download entire e-mails from your address book
pictures. Also, you can set up domains which you know to be safe in the Safe
Domains list of your Junk E-mail Protection (Tools>Junk E-mail Protection).
If you don't want this feature at all, you should add ".com", ".net" and
".org" (without the quotation marks) to the white list, as this will cover
most of the e-mails you're likely to get. I would not recommend this option
unless you really know what you're doing."
