It's the same scheme that spammers use with HTML emails, and about as

Which would eliminate the purpose of a good portion of my emails - the pix
that people send me! Don't think I'm the least bit interested in
eliminating getting those pix.

Turning off loading images for incoming emails would not make any
difference to the ability to receive photos. The standard way to send
photos is to attach them to a plain text email. Turning off loading
images only applies to HTML emails and even then only to inline images,
not attached images. Inline images as opposed to attached images are
normally just things like bullet point markers, logos etc, and of course
the transparent gifs used to spy on you.

If it ever turns out that you get an HTML email with inline images that
are not malware and that you do actually want to look at then you can
always load images for that email while having it turned off by default.

Will have to check that out (how to do it) when I get home to my iMac.
Thanks!
