Don't want to download pictures when replying

[Gerhard Fiedler]

Hello,

I'm using Outlook 2003, POP only (no Exchange Server).

The option in Mail format | Internet options | HTML options to include a
copy of pictures is not checked. But even so, Outlook prompts me to
download pictures contained in emails when I reply to such a message or
forward it.

The prompt that comes only leaves me two choices: either don't permit the
download and abort the reply or forward, or permit the download. Shouldn't
there be a third option: don't download, but create the reply or forward
without an embedded image, using just the link as it was in the original
message?

Is there any way I can make Outlook use simply the links contained in
emails when replying or forwarding, without downloading the images these
links point to? This must be possible somehow...

Thanks,
Gerhard

This would be a welcome change, yes.

What leads you to believe it "must" be possible?

The option in Mail format (see above)... I thought it may mean what it says


But of course I should have used "should" instead of "must".
