iOS 5: Manually load REMOTE images in HTML emails ...?

Sorry, but all we know is what Apple has publicly announced. The only people who would know such details are under nondisclosure agreements and cannot talk about it. We'll have to wait, probably for the public release of iOS 5, before we know.

Regards.

No such luck. There is no load images button in ios5 mail.

How sad..

The "Load Images" button works really well in the OS X mail client, and it seems obvious to have the iOS mail app behave the same way. I wonder why they chose not to implement it? For sure, it's not just an oversight -- or is it?

Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Load Remote Images -> Off

Yes that's how you turn it off. Now that you have it off, and an image arrives whose images you want to view, you can't do it. You can turn the setting back on, but then all the other emails whose images you don't want to open, will open, leaving you vulnerable. There should be a button in the mail viewer to load images when viewing an e-mail if this setting is off, just like Mail in OSX. I think it's an oversight.

@varjak: HUH?! Did you read the thread at all? The discussion is about how to have image loading globally disabled, and then load images in select mails while reading.

Yes, apologies, I did misread and responded only to the "turn off images" part of the equation (and just FYI, I did indeed read the thread, since I was the one who responded back last year when this thread was created, though I certainly misunderstood the followup question).

Regards.

I would love to see this feature implemented.

FYI, I happily discovered that in iOS 6, at the bottom of messages with images missing due to the remote images setting, is a button to "load all images". It's about time!

Wow, that's great! I had scanned the various iOS 6 change logs for anything about this, but it's apparently too small a change to be mentioned. To me, though, it's one of the better iOS 6 features! :-)

Only thing is, I would have preferred the "load images" button in the top of the message. I mean, it's silly to have to scroll to the bottom of a long message, only to tap the button and the scroll back to the top... :-(

Oh well, Rome wasn't built in a day.
