Images in emails can be a major nuisance (especially in spam), and a privacy problem, too (especially in spam). Ximian Evolution, wisely, can be configured to not load remote images.
More Email Quick Tips
There may be one or the other email (certainly not spam) where the image is crucial (uh... the daily Dilbert, for example). Fortunately, you can tell Evolution to load the images in the current message.
To load the remote images in a message in Evolution:
- Open the message either in the preview pane or in its own window.
- Select View | Message Display | Load Images from the menu.
