Turn it off, and the cricket croaks. Florin, I will acknowledge that if one has emptied one's cache of mac.com picture files (~/Library/Cache/com.apple.addressservices/Photos/), your suggestion will achieve the no mac.com pictures displaying in Mail. However, you are wrong when you say "and the cricket croaks," implying that this will disable cricket's picture from appearing in Mail. Try it and see. cricket is special. And so are seven other folks. A max of six clicks and one right click will show you that. :) Gretchen (Who remembers only seeing five the last time she checked, pre-Jaguar.)
