I get a lot of spam which I try to delete without opening it, but sometimes it happens that I open one by accident. Is it possible to disable auto download of images in HTML mail? I don't see the option in the settings.

it is in the "max download size" setting or something like that...

you change it to one of the options at the very top, i think it is 10kb (text only)

that will disable images in email.

are you using the mail or gmail app? i don't use mail, but on gmail, it always asks you if you want to "show images". which is kind of annoying. i wish it would show the images for the approved people like in gmail.

I'm using the mail app. I'll take a look at the option mentioned above, and decrease the file size to the smallest setting.

Thank you
