Some of the commercial, non-spam messages I receive do not display
their included images. I have preferences set to show all images, and
the block images box is not checked. An example of this is messages I
receive from this address: cornellbi...@cornell.edu. A "View it in
your browser" link in one of these messages points to this page:
https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=b35ddb671faf4a16c0ce32406&id=46308dfd2a&e=99f36663cc
The images on that page do not display in my SeaMonkey browser but do
appear in Microsoft Edge. I use NoScript, but it is not blocking any
scripts on that page.
Is some other setting required to allow display of the images in these
messages?
This seems to be triggered by SeaMonkey's tracking protection:
Edit > Preferences > Privacy and Security
Un-tick "Prevent tracking activities by known sites"
This is probably triggered because the image URLs are of the form, for
example,
<https://gallery.mailchimp.com/b35ddb671faf4a16c0ce32406/images/ecc7b3a3-4a46-4e3e-b6dc-2a28b6e99c58.jpg>.
The long strings seemingly random characters can be (and probably are)
used by mailchimp.com to detect who has opened the emails. By using
different random strings in each copy of the email, they know that when
that particular URL is loaded you must have opened the email. Not that
that necessarily concerns you, but that's probably why SeaMonkey is
blocking the images.
Note that in "Private Browsing" mode, it appear tracking protection is
always active regardless of the above preference.
Thank you. Your suggestion fixed the problem. Images now load normally.
