I recently started using Outlook 2003 on this computer.
Images embedded in HTML e-mail download and display automatically, even
though I have SELECTED the "Don't download pictures or other content
automatically in HTML e-mail" option and CLEARED the "Permit downloads in
e-mail messages from ... Safe Senders" sub-option and CLEARED the "Permit
downloads from ... Trusted Zone" sub-option under "Tools > Options > Security
All images display in all messages, in both the reading pane and in the
regular reader window. I observe this behavior every time, on every incoming
HTML message that contains IMG tags.
I can confirm from my firewall's connection logs that the images are indeed
being fetched from the remote web server every time I view (or preview) the
message.
Furthermore, when I forward an IMG-containing message, I get no warning
message (despite having SELECTED the "Warn me before downloading content when
editing..." option. In addition, the IMG tags are forwarded as-is despite
having SELECTED the "When an HTML message contains pictures..." option under
"Tools > Options > Mail Format > Internet Format" -- the reference to the
location of the pictures is forwarded rather than a copy of the pictures.
I have tried clearing and reselecting all the appropriate option boxes,
restarting Outlook, rebooting, clearing the cache, etc., with no change in
behavior.
Why is Outlook ignoring my security preferences?
Configuration:
