When this option is unchecked, inline images do not automatically load. Instead, small icons are put in their place. Either of the previous options will load all of the images in the current page. To load an individual image, click on it's icon. External images will not be automatically loaded even if the Auto Load Images option is checked.
External images have their own unique URL and links just like pages do.
When the link to an external image is selected, the image is loaded and displayed in a separate window. Netscape Navigator can open external images in GIF, JPEG and XBM file formats. To view other image formats you will have to have an appropriate helper application set up. A print dialog box will let you select printing options and begin printing. Netscape Navigator will format the page for the paper size.
