Re: Outlook XP annoyances

My outlook does the same as this, but that's because I want it to......

My firewall lets you send and recieve mail, as that's what I use it for, however I don't let it access the internet when it trys to fill in html mail....

Is this what you've got?

Re: Outlook XP annoyances

Just to let you know what happened...

The HTML email problems were caused by Norton Firewall misbehaving. I eventually ditched it in favour of Sygate Firewall and have not had any problems since with images not displaying properly in HTML email.

As for allowing what attachments can be seen, I found some plugin for Outlook 2003 that allows you to move extension between type 1 (no access at all) and type 2 - you can get to it if you want. It's called "Attachment options" and I got it from http://www.slovaktech.com/attachmentoptions.htm

Thanks for the link :) I downloaded it ages ago and didn't realise they had put up a new version especially for Outlook 2002 SP3 and was having a :fit: when Outlook blocked access to a file that I wanted to access and could not set it.
