Embedded Pictures received from Others do not display in outlook.

[Jim]

I recently switched to Outlook from Outlook Express. When e-mails are
received with embedded pictures, they display properly in Outlook Express but
do not display at all in Outlook.

Is this related to a security setting in Outlook that I can change to allow
these pictures to be displayed?

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Outlook will always show attachments as attachments. If your recipients
want you to see images within the message, they'll have to embed them.

Hi Biran,

Thank You for your response.

I'm not sure I understand. If a picture is viewable in Outlook Express on a
note that was forwarded from someone but not viewable in Outlook, is the
problem security setting related or is it related to the fact that Outlook
does not allow the viewing of these pictures? The picture was not attached
but was "IN" the e-mail body.

I've never had an issue before and I'm beginning to think that Outlook is
not the direction I want to go with my e-mail program.

The latter.

No, it was attached. Had it been embedded, you would have seen it in the
body.

Outlook and Outlook Express are unrelated, despite the similarity in their
names. The do not have the same behavior in many area. If you do not need
calendaring, task management, the ability to store notes to yourself, or the
ability to send the same message to a number of people, one person at a
time, then Outlook Express may be all you need. What was your reason for
switching in the first place?

I switched because of an e-mail I recevied from MicroSoft advising me of a
change in Outlook Express that would cause issues with how Hot Mail accounts
were interacting with Outlook Express. Also, I thought it would kind of cool
to begin using the calendaring functions within Outlook. Do you know
anything about the below note from Microsoft and if there are other work
arounds available? Live Mail is not available to me as my broad band
relationship is "MSN with Verizon". I did not want to get caught with no
e-mail as of June 30th...

Once again - I really appreciate your responses.

I pasted some of the note below:

Dear Microsoft Outlook Express customer,

Thank you for using Microsoft® Outlook® Express. Our information indicates
that you use Outlook Express to access a Windows Live™ Hotmail® e-mail
account via a protocol called DAV (Distributed Authoring and Versioning
protocol). DAV, like POP3 or IMAP, is the way that a mail client communicates
with a web-based mail server.

As a valued customer, we want to provide advanced notice that as of June 30,
2008, Microsoft is disabling the DAV protocol and you will no longer be able
to access your Hotmail Inbox via Outlook Express. As an alternative, we
recommend that you download Windows Live Mail, a free desktop e-mail client
that has the familiarity of Outlook Express and much more. This next
generation of free e-mail software will allow you to easily manage multiple
e-mail accounts—including Windows Live Hotmail, plus other e-mail accounts
that support POP3/IMAP. Better yet, Windows Live Mail integrates well with
other Windows Live services, and downloads in minutes. After you provide your
user name and password, you will automatically be linked to your Hotmail
account, providing continued access to your email and contacts.

We encourage you to download Windows Live Mail at
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview.

If your MSN account an HTTP account or a POP account?

Hi Brian,

I was successful in downloading and installing Windows Live Mail. This
e-mail system is very similar to Outlook Express. It appears to have
resolved all of my issues. The only thing is that it can not provide
calendar functions like Outlook. However, I think it is the best alternative
for me.

Thank You once again for your responses and assistance.

There are numerous calendaring tools that will run on XP. Here's one:

I am having a similar problem. I have two computers in my office - both use
Outlook as the email program. I use Office 2007 and the other uses Office
2003. When email messages containing imbedded pictures or graphis are
forwarded to me from the other computer, the graphics will not display, or
alternatively pictures are blocked.

This also occurs frequently when receiving embedded graphic from outside
senders.

I want to upgrade my colleague's computer to Outlook 2007 but she insists
she will work somewhere else if I do. She does not want the same problem I
have.

Can you explain why Outlook 2007 filters some things out and what I can do
about it?

Thanks
