Hi
Thanks have done as suggested, although this would be the default with all the spam around.

Just in case you are not aware, you can not get hacked just by opening an email, it is also very unlikely that you will get a virus or malware just by opening a spam email. Almost all viruses, like Trojans and worms, are activated when you download an attachment or click a link present in an email.
By only opening the spam email the spammers would only be able to find out that you have opened the email in the same way as any genuine emailer could if you have automatic image loading turned on, scammers may be able to see:
Your location.
Your Internet service provider or mobile company.
Device you used to open the email.
Operating system you’re using.
Email client you’re using.
Web browser you’re using.
and therefore the spammer would know that the email address is active and could of course decide to send more spam to that email address.
You can turn on or off image loading or select only to load from certain users in the BTMail settings
