Can someone tell me how to UNBLOCK email in WMail, Vista Home Premium.
Clicking on UNBLOCK does not work. How do I see what my friend sent me?
TIA

Hi Will--

Try this and if it works and you want to reinstate the security you can.

Tools>Safety Options>Security Tab>Uncheck "block images." You may also have
to put a check in "Show images and external content from emails in my safe
senders list" after putting your friend's email alias in your safe sender's
list on the "safe sender's" tab.

You may have to forward the email to yourself after applying the changes
above.

I don't have any Win Mail because I don't have Vista on any boxes. I have
Win 7 on every boot, but I'm betting they're similar enough that these
settings are identical. If not, I tried.

Good luck,

CH
 
You're probably talking about a suspected "phishing" email.
The only way to whitelist your 'phishy' senders is to turn of
the anti-phishing feature: Tools, Junk E-mail options, Phishing,
uncheck the box.

It's not checked.

Where is the safe sender's list in MSMail? I never heard of it nor have I
seen it.
