Images IN Outlook mails, not as attachments ... !?

Is there a preference in Outlook or Outlook Express so that images will be shown directly in the mail itself? I send my clients a lot of mails with screendumps but Windows people get them only with the images attached. If it is possible can somebody send me a screendump on which this pref is viewable? Thanks!

[edit]
OK … I did some searching on the internet. Outlook (Express) blocks images because of virusses, etc. Ah, I should have known! It can be disabled but it is not recommended. That’s strange, because testing Windows Live Mail on Windows XP (on a Mac with Parallels!) images are shown instantly. Why not blocked there too … !?

I use outlook at work and often html emails are converted to plain text. there is usually an information bar that you can click and select “view in html format”

@MattD

Is it possible to publish (or send me!) a screendump of that information bar in Outlook saying “View in HTML format?” I could use it in a tutorial for my customers.
