Nahhhh, this ain't the answer either. I'm telling you all now, if email is the one and only reason for owning an expensive smartphone, then the iphone is the way to go compared with the HTC. I can't speak for Blackberry because I've never owned one, but I can tell you right now that the iphone works great for displaying embedded photos right in the email. I receive photos of items from my customers daily and I need QWIK access to pics and this bull**** of having to click on this link and wait for the pic to download isn't going to work for me. In addition, once you leave the email in the HD2 and go back to it for reference, you have to click on the download link all over again. Man, if the iphone had full BT headphone support and a replaceable battery, I would have never purchased this thing.

If any of you comes up with the answer to being able to view embedded pictures within the email, drop me a line at troymparker@yahoo.com. PLEASE. I've spent the better part of 2 weeks doing nothing but searching for information on how to do this.
[Touch Pro CDMA] nhshah7:
haha i'm sorry, i wasn't really being serious. what i meant was that i'd take it off your hands for free, but i know you wouldn't want to do that for such a beautiful device :p

good luck searching, i've already given up and just subscribed to this thread in the hopes that someone may find (and post) a solution on here *fingers crossed*.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cre8nkhaos:
I don't know about your iphone, but mine displays pics automatically. There is the rare - and I mean rare - occasion where I'll have to click on a little download square, but the pic comes up in the email and it's there to view along with the person's text. I don't have to click a link, jump out of their email, view the picture and then return to the email. It's laid out there all in one nice and smooth, scrollable email. LOVELY!

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-HD2-and-Apple-iPhone-3GS-side-by-side-review-r_2329.html

Man, I spent so much time on reviewing as many iphone to HTC comparisons as I could read on the net. I made an informed decision before buying it, but I had NO idea that the email handling on this thing would be like this. Not one review or reviewer mentioned the email handling on the HTC.

Example: Sending photo to HTC HD2 from PC

From my PC, I emailed myself a photo of a Porsche 911. The email was delivered on both devices successfully.

With the HTC, I then have to click on the IMG link whereby it then takes me to the photo of the car.

Once the picture is displayed, then you have to click on the arrow/go back key.

This takes me back to the email where I can re-read any text if I need to.

PC test to iPhone 3GS

Email comes into the 3GS and I simply click on the email.

You can already see the top of the photo which is already embedded into the email. From there I can scroll down to view the full picture in its entirety. It's simple, easy, beautiful and it saves so much time.

It couldn't get any easier than this. For email, the iPhone wins hands down. I even searched the HTC web site and look what they have posted.

http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Open+Email+Attachments

Anyways, I've spent enough time on this, but I'm sure I'll do some more until I'm fully exhausted and give up. Till then, I guess I'll just have to accept that I have two of the world's best cell phones at the current time. If the next iPhone comes out and it has a replaceable battery, all bets are off. I'll sell this HD2 and even the 3GS and I'll buy the next iPhone.

I'm sitting here in total disbelief that such a "smart" phone would handle email so stupidly. At least I like the weather widget on the front. It's telling me that it's raining here in Guangzhou, China and sure enough - it is.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cre8nkhaos:
Phones aren't cheaper in China as many people think. They don't have the carriers subsidize the cost of the phone. I paid $750 usd for an unlocked/jailbroken iPhone 3GS back in July '09 and now a whopping $960.00 for the HD2. The 16gb micro sd card set me back another $45.00 and the 3 additional batteries cost me another $100.00 total. They aren't OEM batteries, but they work just the same and are far cheaper than the OEMs. I'm into this phone for over $1,000.00 and I still carry my iPhone as my default phone. When the battery runs down on it, I slap on my Fastmac iv external charger until that dies on me. Then I'll use the HD2.

The most expensive phone I've ever owned and it's so close to being put on eBay.
[Touch Pro CDMA] speedy1979:
The iphone/ipod default email client does handle email better than the client included with windows mobile 5.0 - 6.5.x. But Flexmail is infinitely more powerful than either of the two. It more like an email client for a computer than a smartphone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Shadowmite:
I think the fix for this (until microsoft pulls their head out) is going to require patching the mail client to always think you've clicked to download the images.
[Touch Pro CDMA] nikc0069:
Has there been any news on this? Coming from an iPhone it is my single biggest annoyance. Otherwise the phone is ace (apart from random lockups and the fact that reading an email in Sense preview wont mark it as read).
[Touch Pro CDMA] cbeenhackker:
No... I am still waiting too.....:(
[Touch Pro CDMA] cre8nkhaos:
Unfortunately, no. As that poetic singer,Bruce Hornsby, once said: That's Just the Way it is. It seems that all WinMo do the same thing. I went back to the place where I bought my HD2 and I played with about 5 more phones until I was told that all the others are going to do the same thing.

Coming from a person that has both, the iPhone and the HD2; I can unequivocally say that I prefer the iPhone as my daily use phone. Currently, I now walk around with both of them. I will pull the HD2 out for only the fewest of reasons: When I really want to get a clear picture of something and I need to have a flash. When I can't get network connection from the iPhone. (Here in China, sometimes I get dropped calls, whereby the HD2 seems to work better in some cases.) And I'll pull out the HD2 if my iPhone is dying and needs to be charged, however, I've recently cured that problem by purchasing the Fast Mac iV external charger, which now takes me through the entire day with power for the iPhone. So, in essence, I really think I'm carrying around the HD2 just to justify that I spent so much damned money on the thing. I used to like it because I was able to use the full functionality of the Motorola S9 bluetooth headset, but now I don't care. The iPhone is just pure bliss compared to that of the HD2. In fact, yesterday I was literally thinking of going to the used cell phone market and selling the thing. I'm sure I can easily get around 5-600.00 bucks for it. I was thinking of using that money towards the purchase of the next iphone, which is due out in June. I don't even like the keyboard on the HD2. I can type faster on the iPhone with fewer errors and the auto-correction works better (for me) on the iPhone.

I really wanted something different than the iPhone, but the simple truth is that it really is the cream of the crop in smarphones. If Apple tosses in a 5mp camera with flash, a removable battery, full bluetooth headset support, there'll be no reason to buy any other phone. That's just my opinion.

Sure the Sense feature on the HD2 is cool and you can read emails and SMS really quick, but the lock ups that I have with the phone nullify that feature.

But hey, the weather widget is cool. Love the virtual raindrops and the window wiping action.
[Touch Pro CDMA] CannonBaller:
so can anyone confirm that 2010 beta has resovled this issue?

Anyone here running a cooked ROM with Office 2010 installed?
[Touch Pro CDMA] deepsix_69:
Im running 2010 and I still have to click to download the pictures.
[Touch Pro CDMA] nikc0069:
As someone who really needs his email, it would be good to just have these display properly, and also reflow/resize to take proper advantage of the screen - atm many of these emails overshoot the sides without intervention!
[Touch Pro CDMA] I m J James:
this is why 70% of computers are infected with viruses. you just click click and dont know what you are putting on your computer. This is the same theory with cell phones. They have the warnings for a reason, why would you want to have something downloaded on your cellphone without permission first.
[Touch Pro CDMA] nhshah7:
it's a picture, not a virus. by downloading images automatically to your phone from an email, you're not going to get infected...
[Touch Pro CDMA] CannonBaller:
come on dude...you really gonna play that card.

yes there is always a danger in getting virus.

But if you have the option of "download all images" or if the imagese come down automatically the resut wil be the same.
[Touch Pro CDMA] nikc0069:
Yea that is a load of rubbish. The end result is the same and lets be honest Outlook on WM is woefully inadequate...
[Touch Pro CDMA] nikc0069:
Agreed, the bit about viruses and all is ridiculous. However, i do think that Outlook has some formatting issues and if these could be fixed I for one would be a happy camper.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cloudstrife7:
Bump.. Same issue...
[Touch Pro CDMA] tuphlos:
Solution

Someone owes me big time for this, since no one else on the internet has this answer. Create the following DWORD registry key under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings "Automatically Inline Images". Give the key a value of 1. Upon restarting your device you will be able to view your images directly in the email.
[Touch Pro CDMA] nhshah7:
you are my hero. (if it works!)

and that of countless others too :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] cbeenhackker:
It looked to good to be true... :( It still doesn't work on mij HD2...

Internet Pictures are still blocked (for security reasons). Does it work with anyone else?
[Touch Pro CDMA] bin_laden681:
wow looks promissing will post in minutes if it works!
[Touch Pro CDMA] tuphlos:
Update

What I posted works well for inserted images, but it doesn't completely cover the HTML issue. Here's the rest of the fix.

These are new DWORD values under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings

"Block External Content" with a value of 0

"Load External Images" with a value of 1

This should fix it, I added a bunch of registry settings so if this doesn't work for you email me and I'll give you the total list and you can experiment like I did.

tuphleo@gmail.com
[Touch Pro CDMA] hellovx7600:
OMG I love you :p
[Touch Pro CDMA] CannonBaller:
I really, really hoped this would work.

I'v added all three reg entries.

Still doeesn't work. And tested on IMAP and POP3 accounts.

So I still get the "Internet Pictures blocked"

Maybe there is some other reg entries I'm missing.

If you do have the full list of reg keys.

Then please post them up.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cbeenhackker:
Unfortunately it also doesn't work for me jet with the extra keys implemented.. but I keep hoping!!:D

Thx for the effort sofar!!
[Touch Pro CDMA] bin_laden681:
confirmed!! it doesnt work...¬¬
[Touch Pro CDMA] cbeenhackker:
I think you have a mail with embedded images.. this always has worked.. Images which are linked to the internet doesn't work so far..:confused:
[Touch Pro CDMA] rameses:
It didn't work for me
[Touch Pro CDMA] nikc0069:
Didn't work on HD2....this is so annoying....sincerely hope WP7S sorts this out...
[Touch Pro CDMA] mapaz04:
awww man!

I was really hoping this would work on my TP. I have tried the entry with different ROMs and none seem to work the way we want with it...

Just a question to any CHEF's out there, is there not a way to make a rom that will allow for this to occur (just asking since you guys are geniouses :D when it comes to making some awesome ROM's).

So, is there not a way to make a ROM to work with what we want it to do?
[Touch Pro CDMA] daroot52:
worked for me

Worked for me on touch pro.

THANKS!

[Touch Pro CDMA] seal:
Please someone fix this

I have just come back to HTC HD2 from an iphone and it really makes you realise that Microsoft really don't give a sh*t about WM until WM7 comes out as the email client is still the same as the one I had on my first ipaq PPC.

I to just want pictures to just load as they do on the iphone and every other mail client on the planet.

PLEASE ANYONE.
[Touch Pro CDMA] nikc0069:
men, its rubbish. Lets my HD2 down.

Better hope some other OS gets hacked on soon.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cchris81:
I've been irritated by this as well. I thought for sure there would be a fix. Suggestion... Maybe we should start a bounty???? I would defiantly pay for this at this point
[Touch Pro CDMA] seal:
YES, YES, YES, I WILL PAY, I AM SO OVER CLICKING IN "DOWNLOAD PICTURE" ESPECIALLY COMING FROM IPHONE. Please someone, fix this problem and make some cash.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sansnil:
Bah, this sucks...

I can't believe there's no option to override the automatic blocking of images.

And then 3 clicks to make them displayable, nicely done, MS.
[Touch Pro CDMA] ch99tj:
Still here

Just thought I would give this a bump to see if there was any new info. Currently running GoodSenseTwo (Sense 2.5) and would be a happy camper to have this working.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Techvir:
I have been bumping posts for the past 2-3 years to have this feature sorted out...

So disappointed...
[Touch Pro CDMA] sansnil:
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a fix for this one. Seems like Microsoft hardcoded this into the design of Pocket/Mobile Outlook. I've thought about changing to a different email client, but I can't lose the Exchange calendar support so I'm stuck triple-clicking with the rest of you.

Hate.
[Touch Pro CDMA] itsred:
Anyone ??

a fix would be nice

BUMP.
[Touch Pro CDMA] tieman123:
has anyone checked the actual email that is being stored on the PPC? I'm sure it's a flag that's set upon inital download that is flipped back once the user clicks "download images". I can't really say for sure since i'm not sure where the emails are stored. Any assistance and i'll be happy to write someing in CE that mointors emails and sets the flag appropriately. I think they are stored in the vol file so correct me if i'm wrong.
[Touch Pro CDMA] sansnil:
An intriguing idea... I took a look at the email headers of an html email I was sent with pictures blocked but didn't see any obvious flag like this. I think the client is just set not to down load http image url links unless the triple-click clears it to do so. But I would be very happy to be proven wrong here.

[Touch Pro CDMA] vicsptcruiser1:
do u guys have any idea why mine stopped downloading at all??? when i click download internet pics it acts like it is doing it but never does, i used to but now it just flashes and then stays the same
[Touch Pro CDMA] eigerzoom:
^^^ i've seen this...seems to be rom based maybe?

on the whole...i found a potential source for this issue at large

i'm not good enough to do anything about it

maybe someone knows how to edit this .dll

this is probably a delicate issue since htmlnote.dll handles other features like notifications

i noticed in the registry the inbox attachment handler points to classes_root\CLSID

{87aaed87-de9d-4ceb-bcfc-6fa2e....

this is shown to be an HTMLNote Attachment Handler

which i presume handles the very note pop-up that appears for attachments

and points to a .dll file called htmlnote.dll

just guessing but i bet its all contained in that .dll
[Touch Pro CDMA] VipZ:
Hi All

Just an update on this, I took the 3 reg entries mentioned above but realised there was an issue with them, there should be no spaces in them, below worked on my HD2

Create the following DWORD keys,

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings

"BlockExternalContent" with a value of 0

"LoadExternalImages" with a value of 1

"AutomaticallyInlineImages" with a value of 1

Hope this makes life easier for many other WinMo users :)

EDIT: Sorry I guess I didn't test enough, the above settings only seem to fix having to redownload every time, but still need to use the option to download in the 1st place.
[Touch Pro CDMA] eigerzoom:
i didn't have to choose to download

this is working on my clean bazzle rom from ppcgeeks

have to click on each filename to see them

but glad to see this working
[Touch Pro CDMA] sansnil:
I get the same results on my Treo Pro2 (stock 6.5 ROM) -- I still have to manually download the content but it looks like only the first time. We're half-way there. :) Now I just wonder how you could make the email always do it the first time...
[Touch Pro CDMA] fillippe:
Partial success

Great work. This works on my HD2 Leo stock ROM (Asian). As for previous posters, I have to "Download Internet Pictures" once for each email.
[Touch Pro CDMA] teacherboy:
Anyone come up with a fix for this yet? Been annoying me also on my HD2, seems like a massive oversight on M$ part - either that or they have a little crystal ball that tells them of the future deluge of mobile virus's that will inevitably come due to the massive surge in smartphone sales - and they've acted accordingly so they can be smug when Apple iOs's get hacked to pieces by viral exploits hidden in automatically downloaded html images
[Touch Pro CDMA] surgex0:
A virus in an image file? Right...and last time i checked, a phone is not a computer --..at least that's what ms said at win phone 7 dev coNferenCe lOl ;p

There may be a buffer overflow situation, but that can be patched easily by microsoft. Also explain to me why WebOS, Symbian, Android, and iPhone don't make you click "Download internet pictures" -- No one I know at work or my friends who has any of those phones has ever gotten a virus on their phone from downloading a picture from an HTML email. This is BS and the only solution (since I haven't seen anyone willing to take the time to patch outlook) is to use a 3rd party mail client on winmo -- but then that makes it so titanium \ sense \ mobileshell won't display your email count properly. It's a lose \ lose situation.

I just switched to an HTC Evo running Froyo, and I have to click to download pictures on it. I'd like to know how to get around it on Android.

I guess it will never work... :-(

Really Microsoft, WTF? Why is scrolling disabled? I've never heard of getting a virus from scrolling.

[Touch Pro CDMA] sinister1:
It's a step forward but if you reset your phone, guess what? You have to re-download it all over again.:mad::confused::eek:

[Touch Pro CDMA] cre8nkhaos:
Android problem too

Well, I'm at it again. I'm scouring the net trying to find the solution to the embedded picture problem, but this time I'm doing it for the Samsung Galaxy Note that I bought. The last time we discussed this issue it was with the HTC HD2. I gave up on that phone after one month. I sold it for exactly half of what i paid for it. I kept the iPhone 3gs that I had at that time and with the money I got from selling the HTC, I took a flight to the Philippines and had a rock star weekend. Fast forward now to March 23, 2012 and I'm right back where I started. However, this time I've shelled out $650.00 for the massive Samsung Galaxy Note. Also, I sold the 3gs and got an iPhone 4. The Galaxy Note does everything but wash dishes. It's truly amazing, but guess what? It too can't display embedded photos within email. So, this was never just a Windows thing. It's also an Android thing. I'm now walking around with the iPhone 4 and the Note. What I wanted to do was get rid of my iPhone, but alas, it's not going to happen. The iPhone's mail client is excellent and it's the best for viewing photos within an email. At least this is my opinion. It's almost been 3 years since my last post and you would think that smartphones would have gotten smarter, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I even had the Galaxy S2 for about 3 months. None of them do what Apple does.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cinguliano:
I'm trying to make a simple (or so I think) program. Essentially, it's a mobile version of the Run dialog you see on the PC when you press WindowsKey+R.

And as you can see, I got the UI design in good shape.

The problem? I'm lost in the woods of developer tools! I'm not buying the way overpriced Visual Studio that nobody would pay for hobby/small projects. I'm sick of paying for upgrades of BASIC 4 PPC that still doesn't have what it takes to complete such a simple project (i.e. Shell command only loads programs, not documents or URL's.)

All of my programming experience has been in some form of BASIC, from ApplesoftBASIC on the Apple IIc and MS-DOS QBasic to VB6, VB2005/2008 and REALbasic. I decided to give PPL a try but all its documentation assumes you have as much programming exposure as I, but in C, not in BASIC. For example, getting that Open: edit field to populate with the file chosen in the File Open dialog was a torture as I tried to translate the appropriate VB statement into its equivalent C-style PPL statement, and actually getting the darn file executed is a nightmare that is still not over.

Is there any hope? Is there a mobile developer tool that can provide a balance between "easy to program" and "feature-rich", and that can create code for both touchscreen (Pocket PC) and non-touchscreen (standard Smartphone) WinMo platforms, without costing and arm and a leg?

I appreciate your recommendations.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rjmjr69:
Good luck with your quest. I was going to post Basic4ppc then read the whole thread lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anikolop:
Have you tried SharpDevelop?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cinguliano:
Thanks. What a nice surprise. SharpDevelop seems to allow .NET CF projects for both C# and VB, something that the free versions of Visual Studio don't support.

That said, I created the project and started to add the code, but SharpDevelop won't run it - heck, it won't even run an empty window with no code. I'm hoping that's an issue I can solve by downloading the latest .NET CF from Microsoft.

EDIT: Downloading the tiny (yeah, right) SDK for .NET Framework 3.5... Hope that does the trick.

EDIT 2: The SDK didn't do anything, but the Power Toys were the ones that allowed Sharp Develop to compile my .NET CF code.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gjo59:
SharpDevelop .NET CF compile

I have installed Sharp Develop, NETCFv35PowerToys, NETCFSetupv35, Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional Developer Tool Kit , etc. When actually attempting to compile (to ARM) I'm not sure if I've missed setting some option in SharpDevelop, failed to install some tool, or made some other error, but Build just seems to produce an x86 Windows executable.

Neither Help nor Google seems to shed light on exactly what I need to do.

Pointers please.

Thanks,

Greg
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stepw:
Hey Greg,

.NET executables are platform independent. You need to choose .NET CF as the target framework and "Any CPU" as a target CPU in your project options.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gjo59:
".NET executables are platform independent."

Does .NET produce some kind of intermediate "P-code" that gets interpreted on the PC/WinMo? That would explain the complaints I've read about .NET programs being relatively slow. I'll have to try the HelloWorld.exe on my phone.

Thanks,

Greg
