not receiving emails in colour when using Plus email

[#1]

is it possible to receive emails in colour/photos when using Plus email? I have been using Orange and Hotmail and both are in colour with the photos.
I find that in Plusmail I only get txt  but in most cases I can open an attachment at the bottom of the page to get the colour/photos even this is often missing with message that says it is hidden for my own safety. one email I receive from Aldi supermarket does not have a link and I cannot bring up the photos of the products!

Is this using webmail?

hi jameseh
yes

[#4]

Within webmail, if you go to options and then display preferences, you need to change Show HTML Version by Default to yes and this should sort it for you.

Thanks Chris, now got my colour but every item comes up with" image hidden for your security" when I click on the item I get diverted to the item on Aldi website. This is ok but then I loose the BACK ONE PAGE arrow and cannot get back to my webmail page! and cannot view the different items without a lot of switching! Any ideas? I am using Mozilla Firefox.

one firefox, the bar at the top where it says images hidden, at the right hand end is a "show images" button, you have to do this for each one

Add webmail to the Exceptions against the FF Load Images Automatically option?
Edit: Just received an email I could check this out on and it's squirrelmail not FF that's doing it. I was expecting to see something in the Options to control this - but I can't see anything.
Edit2: Just found http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/UnsafeImages - looks like we need to ask for the Unsafe Image Rules plugin

thanks pierre pierre, I cannot find the bar that says IMAGES HIDDEN! I have looked at webmail page, options in webmail and in the toolbar area of Mozilla Firefox. I am a silver surfer with very limited knowledge of PCs. more help please!

Hey,
In Firefox, goto the Tools menu, then click on Options.
Click on Content.
You can elect to "Load Images Automatically" or if you don't want to, you could add webmail as an exception.
Does that help?

[#10]

It won't help.
Read the link I gave - it's SquirrelMail that is blocking "unsafe" images.

[#11]

thanks jameseh. have followed your instructions and find load images automatically is already ticked1

This, to my simple mind tells me that it was already ticked when he had the problem so it didn't solve the problem

hi jelv  As I previously stated I have a very limited knowledge of PCs. I have followed your link, regarding Unsafe Images for Squirrel Mail and have downloaded the Unsafe Images plugin. When I click on the icon on my desktop my SPYBOT  scans it and gives the ok. I am at a complete loss as to how to deal with this. When I go to start and run search it finds it for me but when I click on the item it just brings up the SPYBOT check again and nothing happens.Could you, or anyone else, please inform me how, in simple IDIOT PROOF terms, how I can make this plugin work?

I think the plugin is intended to work on the Squirrelmail server, not on your PC, so PN would have to do it.
You can display the images for each email quite easily, however. When you open an email in webmail, you get the "image hidden" graphics instead. Click  on "View Images" in the 'Options' line at the bottom of the header and it will display them.
