Disable "internet pictures blocked" in mail?

[ramontrotman]

is there a reg setting some where to have it download all images as soon as i open the mail, instead of blocking them and waiting for me to click "unblock?"

[ramontrotman]

bump....guys anyone?

[trojanvision]

would love to know here too.

[pkley]

Still nothing - not here, not in the General forum either!

[zippyioa]

This is a great question - that bugs the hell out of me! :mad:

Any ideas?

[gavink]

I got curious and also searched. Came up with 2 other threads of with the same question and no resolution.

Maybe you could post this in the Kaiser Tweaks thread as a feature request for the XML? Some of the folks watching that thread really seem to know the registry!

Its a Microsoft safety setting because you can put malicious code in a .jpg so they only want you to open trusted images (yeah weak I know) but its the same way with exchange server emails. Would be great to put this in kaiser tweaks but it would also be good to select all emails from a certain sender. So if I open an email from my friend there could be check a box and then from now on he is trusted and it auto does it instead of just doing in blanket style. but thats just my opinion i could be wrong

This is a feature of Exchange/Outlook 2007, but you can configure it to automatically download the pictures. Unfortunately it seems there isn't a method of doing the same for WM

yep...I'd like to know too.

[Steeve24]

Yeah, I'd like to know as well !!

[defaria]

I'd like to know how to download internet pictures even the second time. When I get "Internet pictures blocked" and I tap on it it then says "Download Internet pictures". When I tap on that "Internet pictures blocked" returns. I can Send/Receive and still no pictures. Frustrating.

If it matters I run my own email server on Linux and I am accessing it on the phone via IMAP.

[Mandlebrot]

I get this also on a standard ROM, anyone managed to suss it yet?

[BereanPK]

Very similar to the other problem I have with my Kaiser, regarding the "annoying "Internet pictures blocked" link in POutlook messaging.

FWIW, I don't know if it's a 6.1 thing or not, but it looks like if click the link the first time to emails, it'll cache the images so they'll open the next time you open that email -- but then again, who reads emails 15 times? :)

I was trying FlexMail, but for various reasons, not the least was my experience in asking questions on their forum which no one answered, but also the fact that when I get a Starbucks email, I'd like to be able to see the images not shrunk so much I can't read the text in the images... know what I mean? I bailed on that trial, and have used QMAIL, but it does something similar but much more comprehensive in scope... my only annoyance with QMAIL is it doesn't integrate into the messaging subsystem, oh well... so much for Voice Command telling me when I have new mail in my AutoPilot Qmail settings, but at least -- no "Internet Pictures Blocked" bull-pucky.

It seems though that maybe 6.1, as opposed to the older ROMs, is starting to show my email pictures without the nasty fuzziness! Hurray! I can see the Starbucks cup full-size, albeit I still have to tap the download images link the first time I open each email, and I have to tap the "scroll" link each time... maybe a small price to pay?

But maybe... just maybe, there's a registry king/queen out there who can pour through the registry and shed some light on these issues... maybe... I may, during some night-shift work, while I'm probably supposed to be passing medications ( ;) ) sync up and look through the reg to see if I can see anything that might help, and putz around a bit.

HOWEVER... it'd be much easier if Microsoft just made a CAB that addressed these issues and fixed the problems, adding a few benefits on the side like trusted domains, adjustable font size, etc.

... but then again, maybe we'll run smack into another ice age by 2010, too...

Cheers,

Was this issue ever solved? It is soooo annoying, reading an emailm having to click you trust, having to click DL pics, having to go back, click send/recieve to DL pics. Then go look at the email. I have went from 1 tap and reading full HTML email on my iphone, to like 6 taps to get a full message on my WinMo phone.

[dirtydizzle]

I too am looking for a resolution to this.

[drgopoos]

Has this issue found a solution yet ?

[dirtydizzle]

Was hoping for an update when i saw this resurface. Hoping for something.....

[jhannaman82]

still nothing! :-(

[clewis4u91]

Still unsolved?

[zippyioa]

This thread has been floating around for ages now with no answer... adding "still unsolved" or "still nothing!" isn't likely to resolve it, so why do it?

C'mon people.... if you are going to post here, at least have an answer. :)

The first time i had this issue , i thought it was simple thing...

This seems to be the most difficult thing to solve now :mad:

[drgopoos]

Any solution yet ?

[brianlp518]

bump... i wanna know!

[nanek921]

Still hoping someone out there finds the reg key or whatever to change this feature. Just bumping it up in case someone has the solution and wants to share.

Maybe this (http://www.last.fm/music/Supertramp/The+Very+Best+of+Supertramp/Dreamer) will help - you need to click the "play" button to see what I am getting at!! :D

Or alternatively get the HTC Hero with Android OS which has HTML Pics in emails as standard

Cheers

[andyhud007]

Did anyone get any luck with this? This is such a big Gripe!!!

:(

[tbfl]

Since there is obviously no fix for the current versions....

Is the functionality the same in WM 6.5 ?

I have not tried any of those ROMS yet.....

Nothing has changed

I got a Samsung i8000 and the warning message is disabled by default!!

In fact, I want it to enable again!

I actually let that play all the way through. I was a big fan BITD.

I guess for some data is still too expensive, and MS thinks we need to be proctected from DLing all that extra image data by accident, huh?

[euphoria47]

I searched the registry and couldnt find anything that could be tweaked, but perhaps somebody that knows more than I may know that we might create a new registry key.... ?

I don't know what Im doing at the end of the day and hope for a solution. I hate having to tap the "pictures blocked" thing, then tap AGAIN on "download internet pix"...

For those of us who want internet pictures downloaded automatically I wonder if we can learn anything about how the i8000 does it?
Looking at reviews of this phone the folder view is skinned but the message viewer/editor looks like the standard winmo one.
I wonder if we could try getting poutlook.exe from the i8000 and putting it on other phones, or looking through the registry.
Anyone with an i8000 care to post their poutlook.exe and a reg dump?

[ramontrotman]

man I'm getting desperate now. make a request to your local chefs. this is really haunting me now.

[ramontrotman]

I've created a new thread over at developement... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576415

hoping to get better visibility there.
