html in email (outlook express)

[Virginia]

All my images in Outlook Express are now blocked after
installing XP SP2. According to the instructions, I
should be able to click on TOOLS, then OPTIONS, then
SECURITY, then unblock the HTML blocking option.

HOWEVER! I have no HTML BLOCKING option on my SECURITY
TAB.

What am I supposed to do now?

Thanks.

It's called "Block images and external HTML content" on the Security tab.

It's actually a good idea to leave this blocked, but that's up to you...
Since these images are loading from a server on the Internet, the person who
runs that server could possibly use it to identify you and confirm that you
opened the message. In other words: a spammer could confirm that your email
address is valid.
