Outlook 2003

When somebody sends me an HTML message with embedded images and I hit reply
I get the message "To complete this action, Outlook must download content
from a server other than youe e-mail server. This could verify to the
sender that your e-mail address is valid and increase the amount of junk
e-mail you receive in the future." I can click OK - and download all of the
crap that I don't want - or I can click CANCEL and not be allowed to compose
a reply.

I only want to reply to the sender in ASCII and not download all of the
pictures they think are pretty and use as part of their stationery. How do
I reply to this user without downloading the images?

ARe you using Outlook 2003? Do you have the option set to read all mail as
plain text?

I am using Outlook 2003. I do not want to set the mail to read all as plain
text because at times I need to see the embedded images - I only want to
turn off these annoying stationary graphics that people think are "cute".

Is there any other answer to this one? I want to be able to
read incoming email as it was formatted (ie, in html format)
but not to download images - I am happy with that. But like
the OP, I can't then reply to anything without first going
online and downloading the images. (Outlook 2003)
