How to Unblock Images in the Body of Yahoo! Mail
Yahoo! Mail provides options for blocking images that appear in emails sent to your Yahoo! account. This feature stops the images from actually loading. It not only prevents you from viewing unsavory images, but also helps to protect against the malware embedded in some images, which can harm your computer or alert the sender to your account activity. However, Yahoo! also provides you with a simple, single-click option to unblock images that you consider safe, after you've opened an email and reviewed sender information and other contents.

Tips & Warnings
To prevent future blocked images, click the "Options" link on the yellow alert bar and then "Spam" on the left sidebar in the Mail Options screen that opens. Check off one of the following options in the SpamGuard section: "Always show images, except in Spam folder" or "Show images only from my contacts." Click the "Save Changes" button when finished.
You must continue to unblock images in Spam folder emails individually, at the top of each email on the alert bar, even if you turned off the blocked setting in Mail Options.
