Images not displaying in OS 13 Apple Mail
I updated to MacOS 13.1 Ventura and images in Apple Mail are no longer displaying. I've turned off the checkbox to protect mail privacy because I'm not really concerned about image tracking and I find it a major nuisance to have to click the Load Content button for every single email hundreds of times a day.
But no matter what setting I use, the images continue to stay hidden. I've rebooted the Mac, restarted Mail and even re-synced the mailboxes without success.
What can I do to have images automatically load rather than the excessively heavy-handed security "feature" Apple thinks I need?
