V4.01 - permanently enable HTML - too many clicks

Post by dalchina »

Hi, I updated to v4.01 from v3.8.1.

Many messages now require double click to open HTML, and again to view images.

I've looked thru the options and cannot find a way to permanently enable HTML and images, so I can simply view the message without wearing my finger and mouse out as in v3.8.1.

WOT is also intrusive- more clicks, and again could find no way to disable it bar uninstall and reinstall, not selecting it.

I hope I'm missing sthg obvious. Thanks!

To display images w/out needing to double/click to display them: Go to "Tools" > "Options" > "View Messages" tab and make sure you have the "Process attachments (e.g. inline images)" option checked, also you would want "Block external images and data" unchecked of course.
Options settings should like like this to display embedded images

To avoid WOT prompt page next time click on the option "Do not prompt for the selected domain" toward the bottom of the Web of Trust window (next time you will not get the prompt for this domain).

Thanks.. having uninstalled v4.01 and reinstalled it, it seems to be behaving sensibly.

I'm pretty sure the settings were as you showed them previously.. but as first installed, the behaviour was unexpected as described.

So onwards.. great program- used it for years!

Also, see this guide, as it explains how "Smart HTML viewing" works:
