Page 686 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

That’s a long explanation for a simple feature: If you turn this

option off, then Mail does not fetch “bug” image files at all. You’re
not flagged as a sucker by the spammers. You’ll see empty squares
in the email where the images ought to be. The actual pictures
don’t appear until you manually select the “Download all images in

this message” link.

Note

Graphics sent by normal people and legitimate companies are generally pasted right into the
email, so they’ll still show up just fine.

Default Font

New in the May 2019 Update: You can now choose a default font and style

—the format all your outgoing messages will use. Here you can specify
which account you want this font to affect (or use “Apply to all accounts”),
and then go nuts with the formatting controls here. Hit Save.

Signature

A signature is a bit of text that gets stamped at the bottom of your outgoing
email messages. It can be your name, a postal address, or a pithy quote.

Here’s where you enter the signature you want to use for outgoing messages
from each of your accounts. (Also turn on “Use an email signature,” of
course.)

Notifications

Do you want Windows to let you know when new mail arrives from this
account? If so, turn on “Show notifications in the action center,” and then

specify how you want to be notified. You can choose to “Play a sound,”
“Show a notification banner,” or both. Remember, you can set things up
differently for each email account.
