Windows Live Mail e-mail client doesn´t block some images

18. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Hi,

 

In  Windows Live Mail (the local mail client/manager of W7 and W8), in File--> Options --> Security Options -->Security … I have the "Block  images and other external content in HTML e-mails" option  ACTIVATED and the  “Show images and external content sent from e-mail addresses of my safe senders list” option DEACTIVATED

 

So, with this configuration it’s supposed that all images (and any other external content) should never be displayed when I open the emails.

 

However, although most of the images are correctly blocked (with a black cross at the left upper side) in most of the emails…in some SPAM messages (only some of them) there are images (I don´t know how are they embebbed) that are still shown / downloaded without my authorization or permission.


¿where / what’s the problem?

¿Is there any way to avoid this behavior in order to avoid tracking?

Thanks.

 

Regards.
