How do I block those pesky HTML web beacon messages from downloading in the
preview pane of Outlook 2002(XP). I found the directions for blocking them
in Ver. 2003, but they are not applicable to 2002. I upgraded from Office
2000, and had been able to set the messages not to download until clicked on
in that version. But it reverted back to downloading them after the upgrade.
I'm betting I'm just looking in the wrong places for the settings. Any
suggestions?

No, you're looking in the wrong version. Outlook 2003 is the first version
with this feature, which blocks web beacons not just in the preview pane but
in open messages.

What OUtlook 2002 allows you to do is block all HTML content by reading all
messages as plain text.
