Hello,

Since last Update i have to click on every mail that i would like to allow display pictures from outside in Kontact. Imean this message:
Note: This HTML message may contain external references to images etc. For security/privacy reasons external references are not loaded. If you trust the sender of this message then you can load the external references for this message by clicking here.
In Confguration this is allowd, also i found the right set option in the configfile: "kmail2rc:htmlMail=true" and "htmlLoadExternal=true"
So where i have to set to allow pictures in HTML Mails to load from the internet?

Kontactversion 5.8.1

Thanks a lot

I have exactly the same problem. This happen independently from "Menu Settings --> Menu Configure Kmail --> Security --> Tab Reading --> Allow messages to load external references"
Is it a bug?
(i'm on opensuse tumbleweed)

Has anyone some solutions except to delete kmail2rc.

Nice, found the solution. If you are on a folder like "inbox" you have to click on folder and uncheck "load external references" looks like an bad bug. So if you uncheck it will loading the images, and if you check the images will be blocked... really nice

I filled out an Bugreport: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395711

I had this problem too, Gentoo 17.1 KDE profile.

Thank you for the workaround, works for me as well!
