Yes it's a security thing, go to "Preferences… -> Security" and there 
you have the image blocking settings.

In MailMate you set them per mailbox. Right click e.g. the "Inbox" and 
select "Edit mailbox". Last tab is "Rules".

Rules are only run on mail as they are added to a mailbox. In other mail 
clients I used a lot of rules, in MailMate I almost only use the smart 
folders instead.

Smart folders are saved searches and they are really smart and really 
fast. I file away everything in "Archive" and use smart folders to bring 
order.

I prefer them from normal folders since I can have mail shop up in 
multiple smart folders. A mail can e.g. shop up in a company smart 
folder and a project smart folder at the same time.

With smart folders it' also easy to make changes without needing to move 
any messages.
