This message contains unloaded images

Hi,

When using Mail, I constantly have to load the images embedded in the mail myself. I come from Leopard and I didnt have this problem there. I have checked the box in the mail prefs (read html by default or something) and I also have filled in the correct IP address in DNS servers in Network prefs but nothing helps. Some e-mails are not affected but most of them are. I'm using an IMAP Gmail account. Thanks for your help. The reason I downgraded to Tiger is 'cause my swopped MBP came with Tiger and my previous iMac had Leopard. I'm gonna be using Tiger until I'm ready for 10.6. Just in case someone wonders..
Thanks for your help!

Mail version: 2.1.3
According to Software Update, I am up to date..

I'm connected to the internet through a router with Airport. No Proxy

If "Display remote images in HTML messages" is checked, some mails still won't display the images. Other mails are affected by this checkbox.
Leopard didnt have this issue!
Is this some junk filter issue?

Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for the Interface you're using...

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Then Apply. These are safer/faster than most ISP's DNS numbers, and have been patched against DNS poisoning.

You or we, need to find the URLs of some of those pics so we can further investigate why they aren't loading, might try a Roght click on them to see if it says copy URL or such, or download Image then check the Dowload window with a Right click to get the URL.

Hmmm, not sure what I'm supposed to see there or not, since it requires a login, but...

https://www.promo

Makes me think checking System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS.

Can you view that if you put that link in your Browser's URL bar?

OK, none of those are actually picture links, but I suspect the links those pictures link to, lets look at the Raw Source for something like...

http://www.solid-state-logic.com/special/images/Mynx9K_+_Mynx_4K_EQ_Bundleweb.jpg

Something ending in ,gif, .jpg, or such.

I couldn't swear to it, but I'm thinking it's missing a trailing </center> & is throwing Tiger's Mail off.

You could try inserting that closing center in a copy of the Raw Source after the Headers & mailing it to yourself, or try ...

Eudora & Thunderbird...

http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird

Or maybe even some MS Mail client like Outlook or Entourage for a test.

Hi A Duet, and a warm welcome to the forums! 🙂

In Mail>Preferences>Viewing, do you have "Display Remote Images in HTML Messages" checked?

Thank you for your help. You are very kind, but these suggestions I have already tried, as I said earlier in my first post. But thanks nonetheless!
Anyone else?
Thanks again
