In effort to protect you from potentially malicious emails, Outlook and Webmail both block email images by default. In addition, both use junk and spam filtering technology. Sometimes legitimate email messages get caught up in junk or spam filters. One way users can improve spam filtering accuracy and be sure to get important emails, is by adding known senders to a “safe senders” list. (A safe senders list is also known as a “whitelist.”)

Please add the netdrafter.com domain to your email safe senders list or whitelist.
