If what PA Bear suggested worked and you can see the images, then it's a
possiblity that the sender has sent a link shortcut instead of an image. A red
box will appear in an email if the image is not available from the web site that
is hosting it.
A referenced image has an incorrect path and points to a non-existent image.
HTML emails with pictures embedded in them will only display if you are online
the Internet, because the pictures are downloaded from the web site as you are
reading the email.
If the graphic is from a web site which is blocked by your firewall program, it
will not display in the email.
