Strange image download behavior - Outlook 2007

[Fred Zilz]

I have exchange 2007 and outlook 2007 at my office. We email newsletters in
html format which are often rich with images. Each and every time we have
an email constructed I have the same discussion with marketing and my ceo,
who state "the images did not download, I had to right click and choose
download image" I then have to again explain that this is the defualt
security in Outlook 2007 as well as many client and webmail applications. I
have to explain that we have no control when sending an email over the
settings of the recipient.

But today marketing through me a curve ball. They sent me an apple
newsletter which when anyone in my office recieves it, the images open,
without choosing to download images. I checked and apple is not listed in my
trusted sites zone, I checked the newsletter and the images are urls to
apple.com. Why are they downloading automatically at my office.

Please help, this is giving me a massive headache.

Have you "MANUALLY" deleted your temporary internet folders lately?
You may also want to be sure to periodically delete your temporary internet
files "MANLUALLY" as doing this through explorer/tools/Internet Options/
Delete Browsing History/ doesn't work!!!!!!!!!

click on link below to find your operating system:

When temporary internet folder gets "full" you may have problems opening
email attachments
or embedded images won't display. If you open image attachments in Windows
Photo or Image viewer and click next, you may see old images you thought you
deleted. Delete the files in the folder to fix.

When you open attachments on email directly from Outlook, a copy is written
to a temporary folder on your hard drive. This is so that the virus scanner
can check it before it is opened. The folder Outlook uses is under the temp
internet folders. This offers more security as only your user account and the
computer administrator account can view the files under this folder. The only
way to avoid "losing" attachments in this well hidden folder is to save them
to your hard drive, before opening. Few people do this (myself included).
