I have always left "load remote images" turned off.

If you get some junk mail (aka SPAM), when you view that email the images will load. The spammers can use this fact to determine that your email address is valid and will add it to their list of know good email addresses.

Is there an option to "Load Images" for each message? (Awaiting delivery of my 64GB 3G iPad).

Actually, I don't think the iPad has the load image button like the iPhone

I am getting this very same problem on my new iPhone. Doesn't matter whether the picture is one i took and e-mailed myself with the iPhone, or if it is e-mailed from an outside account, it doesn't show up, just that box with the question mark. Very frustrating

You should ask about this on the iPhone forum.
