View images that Windows Mail blocked
Windows Mail prevents pictures and other Internet content from automatically downloading to your computer, which enables you to:
-
Avoid viewing potentially offensive material.
-
Reduce the amount of junk e‑mail you receive.
-
Decide which pictures are worth taking the time to download if you have a dial-up connection.
When an e‑mail message contains a blocked picture or other content, a red "X" will appear in place of the blocked content.
The Information bar indicates when images have been blocked
Make sure the message is from a trusted sender before you decide to download the pictures.
