For senders that you trust just click on the "Legit" toolbar button

for the message (that adds sender to "whitelist") and/or click on the "Confirm Legit" option in the upper-right area just above the banner ("double click box") warning

to avoid the banner warning (that you don't want) from appearing in the future for that specific sender.

I purposely didn't mention disabling "Smart HTML Viewing" - because by doing so, you leave yourself vulnerable to malicious messages. The "Smart HTML Viewing" option (which I decidedly use myself) provides a way to protect against malicious mail by only allowing HTML for senders that you can trust. But you have the choice to decide not to use this safety measure if you prefer and hope for the best. [-o<

As of when a sender gets "Whitelisted" as a result of doing what I previously described then the warning banner will not display and therefore you should not need to click anything to allow HTML viewing at that point (for that specific sender).

Once POP Peeper has learned that the sender and message is legitimate (ie. generally the next email you open from that sender after marking it legit), it will show the message in full HTML.

edit: Oops, Lakrsrool must have edited his message because I didn't see that he already replied with the same info :)
