Problem you are trying to solve

I notice that when I select "Download Complete Message" it doesn't load images. There is a separate button to download images in a completely different place that does this but one would assume the "Download Complete Message" would do this?

Suggested solution

merge the buttons or change the labelling to better describe what Download Complete Message actually does.

i believe that what you are referring to are "remote images" (which is how that prompt is labeled). selecting the "download complete message" option will download and display images that are included in a message body part. what isn't downloaded or displayed are remote images - graphics that are referenced via a url in the message body - as there are size, privacy and potential security issues involved, so can be retrieved at the discretion of the user.

njeyaakili provided a good description of how the app works and why. This is intentional behavior. We have no plans to change this.
