Security hole when forwarding a message in Outlook 2003

Outlook 2003 very prudently does not download images in an HTML email
message when I open it; but very stupidly _does_ download them if I forward
the message!

Does anyone know of a way to prevent this behaviour? I have all the boxes
checked in the Tools | Options | Security | Download Pictures dialog.

Cheers

There is no current method to block this when forwarding mail. We (Outlook
MVPs) have asked for this to be fixed. It remains to be seen if it can be
as it is by design currently. I forget the reason but it makes sense to
them, but not the end user.
