Whenever I view an email with images. I am not shown the image in the email, all that happens is the images are at the top of the email in attatchment file which I have to download and the html (display image) button at the bottom is greyed out. This is driving me mad. My iphone displays the images in the same email like they should be displayed. Is there anything I can do about this. I really don't want to go back to using my iphone, but I can't believe I'm having to download attatchments when they should be embedded in my email.

Why should they be embedded? Embedding anything in an email is a nice way of getting you to run stuff you do not want to run. They are attachments, IE files attached to the email - not contained within the email. If I want to download them I do - if not I dont - I am not forced by the app to bring them down which is what happens when they get embedded.

I see no issue here.

But they display fine on my laptop and that is how I want them to look on my phone. I don't want to have to download an image, I want it to be displayed in the email like it was ment to be. Is there a setting for this? I can't understand why the N900 isn't doing this.

Did you click on the inline image icon? Its the icon/button next to the < on the bottom of the message window.

But thats my point they are not meant to be displayed in the email. they are attachments. Its the client that displays the attachment in the email. It is not a requirement of a client to do that.

So there is no option to automatically download all image attachments into emails? This is what lets the N900 down. I only want to open image attachment (like on Yahoo mail on laptop and my iphone). I can't understand why you can't do it on my N900...

The email client doesn't do what you want it to do, even though it does what its supposed to do, and that lets the n900 down?

Maybe someone will port evolution or thunderbird to maemo.

I have the same problem as Butterfly. However the point to note is I can see the images in the email body for my Gmail account, whereas the problem of images coming up as attachments is only for my Mail For Exchange account and the Image icon in the toolbar becomes greyed out.

So what could be differentiating these two account types?
