The Image Rules section allows you to define what images and styles will be shown in email messages when they arrive in your inbox. You can control the level of trust when images will be displayed.
For a higher level of control, you can also create custom filters for specific senders or when specific text appears in the subject line of messages.
There are three options available to choose from:
- Trust sources in contacts: If checked, unsafe images are shown for messages from anyone in your address book.
- Trust anything I send: If checked, unsafe images are shown for messages sent by any of your identities.
You might not want to set this if you forward Spam to other people, and then go back and read from your 'Sent' folder. - Trust defined sources below: If checked, unsafe images are shown for the sources shown below.
Note: This will also appear directly in your email body as a banner, you can make the selection directly from there.
