+**(27) Why are images shown without tapping 'Show images' ?**
+
+There are two types of images:
+
+* Images embedded into a message
+* Images stored on a remote server
+
+Embedded images, also visible as an attachment, are always shown, but images stored on a remote server need to be downloaded by tapping *Show images*.
+Note that downloading images from a remote server can be used to record you did see a message, which you likely don't want if the message is spam or malicious.
