If Mail detects a junk message, it displays this header and prevents the message from loading any remote images.
On the negative side, Mail shows remote images in any message that it doesn't think is spam. Mail's junk mail
filtering feature works well, but it doesn't catch every single spam message that comes your way. This means
that it could show remote images from any piece of junk mail that it misses.
To prevent that, you can configure Mail not to show remote images in any HTML or rich text message:
1. Choose Mail
→
Preferences.
The Mail preferences appear.
2. Click the Viewing tab.
3. Deselect the Display remote images in HTML messages check box, as shown in Figure 6.2.
Now if you get a nonspam message that contains remote images, you see the header shown in Figure 6.3. Click
Load Images to see the remote pictures.
