hi guys, thanks for all the feedback.. forum over at crackbrry had a same thread and basically the Bold will learn what emails you will accept the images to be downloaded from. So, if you get an email from xyz, hit download images then accept the pop up warning, the next time you get an email from the same person it will automatically download the image.
Wierd but makes sense I guess..
Hope this solves the isses for everyone else have the same problem as me!
