Outlook Express Blocking Images

[Katie]

Why does my mail block images with a red X placeholder? I
already have my settings cleared on the "Block Images and
Other External Content in HTML E-mail" and my security
setting is on "less restrictive" but I get emails with
images in them and they are always the red X.

In OE, go to Tools > Security (Tab), under "Downloaded Images" ensure that
"Blocked images and otherexternal content in HTML e-mail." is not checked.

Well, it should be blocked...........

Or switch to Mozilla Thunderbird which has a direct "button" for
this to show images if a user decide it is safe.

OE is really out of order these days....... again.

Are ALL images blocked or just some? This is most commonly an error at the
sender. What is the size of the message?

I have already done that and it is not checked but more
often than not the images and just a red X placeholder.

It doesn't happen with all of the mail but more often
than not it is just a red X placeholder.

Check the size of one of the messages where you can't see the picture.
While viewing the message press Ctrl-F3 and scroll down to see if the
picture is actually there.

check window update, i think there's at least 2 or 3
fixes for outlook express. check whether if it's going to
fix your issue.
