Windows Mail normally blocks any images in messages, but more and more I'm
seeing spam where the picture is loaded instead of being blocked. Might be
something that needs looking into.

Tools/Options/Read tab, enable "read all mail in plain text". When you open
one that you want to see the pictures in, click view/message in html.

Ok I get it now, only images that load from an external site are blocked.
