SUMMARY

I'm running an up-to-date version of opensuse tumbleweed: kde plasma 5.14.1, kernel 4.18.15-1, kontact 5.9.2. In kmail's security and privacy settings I have selected "Prefer HTML to plain text" and "Allow messages to load external references from the Internet." But my emails don't load images from the Internet, and I have to click on "This HTML message may contain external references to images etc. For security/privacy reasons external references are not loaded. If you trust the sender of this message then you can load the external references for this message by clicking here." After I click, the images load correctly. But I have to do this for every html message.

The html bar at the side of the message lists the message as an html message, but no images appear in the message.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open html message
2. no images or Internet references displayed.
3. Click to load images.

OBSERVED RESULT
Need to click on every html message to load images


EXPECTED RESULT
Images should load automatically and follow the selected privacy settings: "Prefer HTML to plain text" and "Allow messages to load external references from the Internet."
