Outlook 2010 blocking images, pictures in email preview

If you are using Outlook 2010 and it's blocking images, pictures in the email preview, you can change settings in Outlook 2010 to either:

  • unblock all images, picture downloads
  • unblock images, pictures from specific domains/email addresses

You may receive the following error message in your email header when you receive an email and you would like to enable the pictures, images to download instantly, rather than have to authorize each specific email sender.

"Click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy Outlook prevented automatic download of some pictures in this message".

Images not hosted on a web server

The sender may not be sending the images correctly. For images to show inline in Outlook 2010, the sender needs to host the image on a web server (like we do at Email Signature Rescue) and code them correctly using HTML in order for the images to appear inline, in the actual email message and not as an attachment. If the sender of the email is simply attaching the images, or using the Outlook email signature generator, the images are not being hosted and therefore will always show as attachments.

Can I force recipients to download the images, pictures automatically in Outlook 2010?

No, you cannot force recipients of your emails to download images, pictures in Outlook 2010. Each user has their own settings in Outlook and only they can choose whether or not to show images.
