I am running Outlook 2002. Sometimes, when I get an e-mail with graphics or
pictures, they don't display. Instead, I get a box with a little red "x" in
it. This does not always happen, but it occurs frequently. I have not been
able to figure out what's wrong. Can someone help?
 
I received a piece of spam which had an image embedded in the e-mail. It did what you mentioned. Since it was spam
I chalked it up to a dumb spammer which is probably what you should do. In any case I extracted the attachment to a
folder on my hard drive. It was a jpg file. Now when I selected the file in Windows Explorer Windows 2000 SP2 I
noticed there was no image preview and when I tried to open it in IE I got the same thing you mentioned. So to all
intents and purposes it looked to be a bad jpg. But no. I have another application that was able to display it. So the
moral of the story is that the image just may not be viewable with what you have. Other than that the sender did not
embed the image correctly in the e-mail Or your AV software may have stripped out the image. Point is lots of things
can cause this.
