Spam Email Tips

Choose to show or not show images

1. Open Gmail.
2. In the top right, click Settings .
3. Click Settings.
4. Scroll down to the "Images" section.
5. Select Always display external images or Ask before displaying external images. If you chose the "Ask before displaying external images" setting, messages that have images will have a "Display images below" option.
6. At the bottom of the page, click Save Changes.
