To prevent an inline image from displaying in a message

You can set a user preference so that remote images do not display automatically when reading mail. A remote image is an image that is referenced, rather than embedded. Use the following steps to set the Image Security preference:

1. Click Preferences
2. Click the plus sign next to Mail, and then click Display.
3. Under Image Security, select the option Do not show remote images without permission.

To view the image when reading a message that includes an embedded image, click Show Images.
