I have some doubts on the function of the redirection option in new version of IER.
First of all: Don't switch IER versions because
if things have changed it was on purpose, i.e. comparing older with newer versions doesn't make any sense. Using an older one is only really required as an emergency solution in case of anything really important goes wrong.
Secondly:
If you change nevertheless you need to wipe the cache before doing any tests since - I assume you know what caches are for - you might get cached results instead of new ones.
Most of my mail now not show anymore a redirection warning.
This might have the following reasons: Since people were getting annoyed by too many of these messages IER now provides a block list allowing permanent or temporary exceptions based on the
sender domain instead of image domains, i.e. if you already allowed image downloads previously either permanently or during a Pegasus Mail session you won't get asked again. This might also cover image domains you wouldn't expect which would then also appear or be blocked in other messages, recurring sample (sorry for the ads but I'm sure everyone knows them anyway, it's just a screenshot):
And in one mail from O2 when I press "yes" on show redirect images, then I get the same error 12017 as when I press "no". So the images where not shows correctly.
Wipe the image cache before trying again!
And, BTW, Brian Fluet just notified me about the message dialog for blocking downloads: Unfortunatly it's currently misleading because it doesn't mention the blocking redirection by sender instead of by domain which I'm going to fix now. But: Technically I'm blocking download domains, of course, just if you happen to take a look at you BlockList.ini file, but it may affect several ones for a single email address.
