Email blocking photos?

Yeah, it's my phone and should be my choice. Not to sing the praises of the iPhone but I could do it on that device and had no problems and it was great compared to clicking a a tiny link at the top of a message twice just to see it.

Part of the reason for making you manually download images is the bandwidth during the sync as well. Thats why in POutlook, when you set up your account you can only download a max of 20kb of a msg automatically. I know personally, I would like to have an auomaic download, but when I get proofs emailed to me by clients, sometimes the images are 2mb in size. That would clog up my email, and if I got a phone call during that 5 minutes it would take to download, the connection would be broken and I would have to manually download anyways. So while it would be nice to have the option, I understand why wireless carriers and WinMo would say no to that... my 2 cents.

The thing is, though, the should include an option for those that DON'T get 2MB proofs

Yes, and why not allow imgages to download that fall within whatever setting you select as the maximum download limit?

Good idea! It really shouldn't take that much to make a program with these features.

yeah that's my point as well... and with the onboard memory of my diamond and my revA connection, i'm not too worried about how long it takes to download emails with attachments of any reasonable size...
