HTML

Hi all,
Windows Mail by default blocks images and other external content in HTML.
How do I go about unblocking it so I can see images instead of have to open
an attachment?

Thanks for your time,
Alice

Tools | Options | Security and uncheck the option to block external content.
You also will need to make sure you aren't reading in plain text only via
Tools | Options | Read.

Thank you Steve,

I had it set to read in plain text only. Now all is well!

Thanks again for your time,
Alice

I have tried the security & read settings and both are set as you suggest,
yet still my HTML options are greyed out - any ideas?

What do you mean by your HTML options are greyed out?

I mean as in "View image as HTML". The option is greyes out, so I can't
choose it, something somewhere appears to be blocking it.

Tools | Options | Read and uncheck the option to view messages in plain text
only. That is the only place its set. You can't view a plain text message
as HTML.

My settings definately have the Tools / Options / Read / Plain Text box
unchecked.

My settings also definately have the Security settings set to accept HTML.

I can't wait to install Outlook at the moment.......

WinMail won't turn a plain text message into HTML. Send yourself and HTML
message and if you receive it correctly, then its working correctly.
