Anyone have an idea why I cant view embedded pictures with the stock email client? Yes, I clicked "show pictures". All I get is a small question mark. K-9 shows them but I like the stock client better. My guess is they are not being downloaded. This is on a Xoom WiFi. Thanks

Hi,
just wondering if there is a tweak for this. I am using my email a lot and I have a message saying
'Internet Pictures Blocked. To protect your privacy, pictures are not automatically downloaded'
Does anyone know of a way around this?
Thanks
I really would like to know this as well...
And me.....
I don't know a way round it but I do know that desktop outlook behaves in the same way. You have to consciously choose to download pictures - I beleive that this feature was brought in to prevent the execution of malicious code that could be hidden inside jpegs.
at least in desktop outlook, you can add domains to the safe sender list....
and on the desktop you can choose an option so it always downloads pictures.
my td2 isnt even showing me the pictures after i press download internet pictures for some reason
i searched alot & found answer: there is no solution for this.

At least this works on WM6.1 for one email, but not for the next to come.
I click on Internet Pictures Blocked, then click on Download Pictures. Then I get the pictures in the email.

That's what internet pictures are. The pic's aren't embedded into the emails, the links to the actual images on the internet are, so the pics need to be shown from their web address on the net everytime you open the email. Same thing happens on the desktop and in all honesty people shouldn't really be sending emails this way, it's annoying and as people have mentioned insecure.
This is not something I want to happen on my device, data plans for mobile phones (esp where I'm from) are pretty nasty and if the images were large in size I could get a really nasty shock. You can set the max limit to dl per email (5k, 10k, 20k etc) but you don't really have this capability with stuff that's hotlinked ot the internet, so I'm guessing for these reasons they're disabled by default.

me never use data connections only wifi and im sure there are many more so if its not a concern it should be possible...
images saved in some temp folder, there should be way to save these images in other folder and when opening email again, it will look in this folder before trying to download.
strange its not done cause seems ppl here doing much more complex stuff...
I was just playing around with ES File Explorer, trying to learn what it does, and I discovered that all the email attachments that I've opened during the past few days (.doc,.pdf,.pps) were actually saved to my G tab.
I'd rather than didn't happen.....is that a feature that I can turn off somewhere?
(I couldn't find anything under the different menus for mail or browser.)
You could try a third part e-mail client, such as Enhanced Email which seems to have a good rating in the market.
I use the Yahoo Mail app.
Does anyone know if I can view attachments to my email, without having to download them to my G tab?
Bumping up?
After setting up my email accounts through the stock email application, I've noticed all of my emails with embed photos, either within the email or attached....they are all automatically downloaded to the phone. I can view them in the gallery even. I didn't know the phone was doing this until I went into the gallery to see a couple images I took with the phones camera.
My question is, can you stop the email application from automatically downloading all the images/files? I get about 3,000 emails a month (corporate) and this is going to be quite annoying considering the promotions and email signatures including small gif/jpg files.
Any help would be great. Cheers.

Have you tired to limit the size of the email received?
I haven't. I'm sure that would obviously help for the larger images, but these little gifs that are embeded within an email signature for example, are sometimes 1kb, so very very small. No other Android phone I've owned ever did this without me clicking on the image and downloading it first, myself. It's just fetching the files automatically and downloading them.
Funny thing is, 95% of the emails I DO NOT OPEN!!!!
I don't get work email on my phone but, I do use the pop feature. Maybe its a exchange server issue. I don't have that problem with pop.
It probably is automatically downloading them as an "attachment". Turn that feature off.
I switched over from an iPhone 4 to an Atrix, and one of the features that I truly miss is that before sending an email with attachments, the iPhone would allow me to select an image size/resolution.
Anyone know of an app/method to do this on Android?
Stock gmail app doesn't seem to resize anything at all, nor do I see an option/preference to do so.
Thanks guys.
Sorry to drag this back from the depths, but did you ever find a practical (ideally free) solution to your problem?
Nope. Google needs to seriously work on this feature.
lol indeed, well thanks for the quick reply.
Np, let us know if you find a feasible solution lol.
This annoys the hell out of me too. It really should be built into the gmail app. I guess there are times when you'd want to send a 2MB image to someone via email but usually you don't.
The intuitive approach for me is to go to the gallery where I can easily browse photos, and then "share" the photo straight to the gmail app. Going to gmail then browsing the filesystem for the image is not as smooth (imho). So some of the resizing apps don't suit me.
Here is my current solution - an app called Image Shrink Lite. It lets you go to the gallery and "share" to Image Shrink Lite, then choose the size, then "share" again to gmail.
It's still clunkier than it should be of course but it is the best option I have found so far.
Seems like a decent solution, it isn't ideal but it works whenever you do need to shrink an image. Thanks for the tip!
My solution is setting up my gmail account in the email app that came with my s3. When I need to send pjotos i attach them and a menu pops ip asking me if I want to resize my photos. Annoying that google doesn't have that as well.

Well ****, so it does.
You can't share TO the email app (which I think would be ideal), but attaching a picture from Email allows you to resize to 70,30 or 10% original size.
So I received a JPEG in my gmail account which I read through the stock email app (not the native gmail app) anyhow, I selected theatachment and clicked load then view in gallery. However, I closed the gallery, then wanted to save the attachment, but it isn't listed in the email message anymore. This is silly. Where did it go?

View doesn't save it anywhere specific, it's just to view it temporarily.
You should be able to go back to the message and save it though. That will save it under the "download" folder on the device. There should be a little tab that says "Message" and another that says "Attachments". Hit Attachments and you'll have the view/load/save options.

That's just the problem. There is no attachment listed when I view the mail anymore. Nothing to save.
Strange..you sure it was attached and not just an inline image?
