Unblock picture downloads for a single message

You can unblock downloads of linked pictures and other external content for a single message that comes from a trusted source.

  • Choose the InfoBar at the top of the message, and then click Download Pictures.

    Flags and reminders for recipients are given in the message InfoBar.

When you click Download Pictures in a message that you're previewing in the Reading Pane, the message is saved automatically and displays the pictures again the next time that you open the message. But if you click Download Pictures in an open message and want the images to display the next time that you open the message, you must save the message.
