I'd seriously advise against this, because it enables html mail for all 
folders, which naturally includes mail from people you don't know and trust.  
The better solution is to create one or more folders for people you do trust 
who send html mail, and set up filters to put their posts into those folders.  
Highlight the folder in question, then go to the main menu - Folder > Prefer 
HTML mail.  

Again, for security purposes I would suggest that you don't check 'Load 
External references' - you will be able to load them on demand - although 
since you have approved those particular persons it may not be as important as 
for strangers' messages.
