Help GMAIL Show Pictures By Default?

[LunchBB]

Is there away to have Gmail to display pictures by default?

I'd like to know this too. It's a horrendously stupid function and I ALWAYS hit show pictures for EVERY email so I don't see what the point is and why it's not something you can turn on and off. MOST of my emails have at least one image built into it.
