If auto is disabled globally, then you do indeed have a email by email 
option to "always allow this sender" (bad idea as spam will likely at 
times be same From) or "load image this time". But there is I think 
somewhere to set global behavior.

I've definitely had to change  to global settings on Linux and Windows 
installs. But I can't remember which versions.

Similar settings and such in Netscape and Eudora in a past life.
