How do i automatically see pictures in message body??

OK folks...never saw that anyone posted how to fix this: I just figured out a
workaround that resolves this issue.

The main problem is that, despite what the Outlook 2007 Help files say, you
have lost the "add to safe senders list" in the right click context menu when
you right click on a blocked graphic. What can be done is this:

1) Sort the email to the junk email mailbox
2) Go to that mailbox, find the message, then click "Not Junk" on the menu bar
3) On the next pop-up screen, ensure the checkbox is checked for "Always
trust mail from"
4) This will sort that email to the Inbox
5) Pictures in the body of all emails from that sender will now display
properly

Hope this helps!

Unblock picture downloads for a single message:
You can unblock downloads of linked pictures and other external content for
a single message that comes from a source that you trust:

Click the InfoBar at the top of the message, and then click Download Pictures.
Note: When you click Download Pictures in a message that you are
previewing in the Reading Pane, the message is automatically saved and
displays the pictures again the next time that you open the message. When you
click Download Pictures in an open message, if you want the message to
display the pictures the next time that you open the message, you must save
the message.



Unblock picture downloads for all messages:
On the Tools menu, click Trust Center, and then click Automatic Download.
Clear the Don't download pictures automatically in HTML e-mail messages or
RSS items check box.

Unblock picture downloads for all messages from a particular e-mail address
or domain:
In an open message that was sent from that e-mail address or domain,
right-click one of the blocked items.

The problem is that imbeded pictures in incoming emails are not displayed in
the body if one is using Outlook. All other email clients allow the user to
select this option.

I recently purchased Microsoft Enterprise 2007 for my sons. so they could
have power point and excel for school.

I prevoiusly used Windows Live mail but decided to go with the Microsoft
Office outlook 2007 that came with the package.

I to cannot see pictures in my email
(never had this problem with Windows live mail).
I have read blogs and google help for days and tried all of the soloutions
....still no luck.

I am running Windows XP Home with updated microsoft add-ins and updates
and IE 8.


In addition to unchecking 'don't download pictures' in the Trust Center, I
tried going
to Internet, Advanced Options, and in the checklist under multimedia, and
un-checked view placeholders for pictures.

I also ran several registry repair programs and still no luck.

Still no photos in emails. Help someone please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has there been a solution to this question? Microsoft told me that there was
a fix if I paid $139 to them. I checked my registry and couldn't find
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\BlockHTTPImages - anywhere. I
believe that the change came in a update. I didn't have this problem a month
ago. Please let me know if anyone has a solution.

My Outlook worked fine until about two months ago. Then all of a sudden
embedded pictures (not attached pictures) were no longer viewable. When I
right click on where the picture should be, the only option offered is COPY.

I read all of these posts and many more on the web. It's like Microsoft's
attitude is just "oh well, it's your fault you use our product". If
Microsoft doesn't read these posts and/or other comments on the web, they
should. And then they should do something about it. Pick up a telephone,
call a customer, try to understand the issue that so many people post a
complaint about.

I have a solution that I will happily share with future readers. This is my
last Windows based computer and Microsoft Office Suite / Email product. I
have had it up to my eyeballs and have finally comitted to switch to the far
superior Apple product. I don't feel like I will be giving anything up,
other than system crashes and defective software.

Thanks for nothing to Bill and the folks at Microsoft.

I just got a new computer and am running Office 2007. My emails are not
coming through with pictures even though I have gone into the security tab of
the options and deselected the option. I do have AVG on the computer. Can
anyone tell me if it has been determined to be the problem?
 
D

DAubin

I agree 110%. This is ridiculous. My problem is that I was seeing the
pictures, then I did something to save some pix I was sent within an email,
and now I just have blank boxes where my pictures would be and I cannot
retrace and correct what I did!!!!! Even the logo in my signature is a blank
box!!
So I have a little hope (at least) that my particular problem can be
corrected, but going to the ironically-named "Trust Center" and following
those directions does NOT seem to work. PLEASE - any suggestions?!

This is really annoying. I've been using Outlook and every version created
since it's inception and haven't had nearly the problem with this issue as
this latest version.

I too have people forward messages with lots of pictures embedded within..
Everyone else can see them using other products but Outlook users can't. I
can even sign onto live hotmail live msn hotmail msn live ( a little stab at
MS Marketing there) website and the message looks fine with embedded pictures
shown.. Only Outlook blocks normal usage of email. I wonder how long the
evil empire thinks this will work in their favor? This compounded with the
other Microsoft/Office issues I'm growing frustrated with will drive me to
another email client, soon. This is probably the last version of Office
I'll purchase as I'm very disappointed in this product and the problems I
have to spend my time troubleshooting (with no support from the mfg)..

I'm pretty sick of Microsoft "protecting me" from the villans that only they
can see.. They've killed so much functionality in the name of "protecting
you the consumer" that it's become almost little value to use MS Office at
all..

Sorry for the rant but I'm one unhappy MSFT customer with Office 2007 and
Vista.. Both completely suck.

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER

well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply

(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

TO: Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Care to restate the problem?

In OutLook 2007, images in some messages show up as a box with a red x in
the upper left corner, with the immage that should be displayed being held as
an attachment. Telling 1,000 email senders to send in RTF or HTML is not a
practical option! Are there security settings in IE that can resolve this
issue as Kathy suggested? If so, what settings need to be changed?

I use OutLook 2007, but it also occurred in OutLook 2003. I would like
the embedded photo's to be displayed inline with the text in the body of
an opened message just as the sender created them, even if the message
is not sent in RFT or HTML format.

If the sender embeds the images in the body of the message, you will
see them in the body, even in the Reading Pane. The message MUST be
HTML or Rich Text for that to happen. If they attached the images or
the message in in Plain Text, there's nothing you can do to see them in
the Reading Pane except one at a time using the Preview feature.

Hello Brian, First I wanted to say that I am sorry about this erroneous first
post, but I have also been having issues causing my browsers (yes both sides
of that fence fail) to crash from C++Runtime library errors, likely stemming
from AVG technologies (as was associated in Add/Remove programs' population
pane) whose support could not be worse, of course this was when the last
crash occurred, immediately after removing AVG.

BTW any changes made concerning AVG, has consistently coincided with a whole
plethora of errors, throughout it's use and disuse, stemming from the initial
install in September, (on my old machine) thinking initially, it was the
heavy load on my single core 3.06Ghz processor in my old machine, so after
stepping up to this new comparative rocket of a machine, still the problems
follow, and has caused my reply to only contain the post I was more or less
hijacking this thread by, because I cannot see any other means to join this
thread for having this same problem.

So I am replying to this post because I saw no other option to post
initially, maybe because I had not been verified yet, but also because this
is the most recent in this thread.

I am working with a brand new Intel Quad core, Q9400 with 4Gb ram, and a
pair of WD SATA's summing storage up at 1.2 Tb. with a 1Gb 128 bit HIS
graphics card, in a PCI Express 2.0 slot in an Asus P5Q pro turbo Motherboard
with an Intel P45 chip set

Now my issue differs from most here in as much as I HAD images coming in
until three days ago, (was quite surprised at the default settings, rather
annoying a this point of the game) and I did nothing to change my settings. I
have been troubleshooting this for three days now, pretty much doing nothing
much BUT looking for a solution.

I have pored over these posts and tried each of and combinations of the
remedies others have offered as well as reading through the mos relevant help
pages linked in this thread, to no avail.

I do not know what exactly has changed, except that I am continuing to
install my software packages, as well as migrating some programs from my old
computer via windows 7 easy transfer utility, which managed to carry over
many settings to my newly installed programs. So rather than migrating
programs, I only migrated their settings, but Outlook mail's was a manual
import of the saved Outlook Express 6.x address book which was converted from
a .wab to .wac? Windows contacts, and then converted in to the current
address book file format. This is assumed because they now open as choices
when I click the address field, or any of the address input buttons.


To sum it up I have made sure the block content box is unchecked, I tried
the registry change and also found two other references to content, pictures,
and content that were at the no value, if 1 is yes and 0 is no, which I
surmised based on other entries I noticed matching other settings i know the
values of.

I completely removed AVG, as it has been worse than any virus could be for
the months of computing nightmares I have been having with the afore
mentioned errors crashing all browsers and Adobe graphic programs, even on
this brand new build, however i did use the windows seven Ultimate 64 easy
transfer utility for migrating some settings and programs over, and this
didn't occur until I was on my own little network with the old computer.

Please help me to view pictures in emails again, I have to agree with the
number of people getting tired of MS "Protecting" me from falsities, meant
for neurotic paranoid newbies that will be easily duped in to believing
almost anything written, be it in a newspaper or on the web.

I would not be at all surprised if most of the annoyance viruses stem from
the anti-virus programmers to keep their paychecks coming in, exceptions of
course for those truly malicious codes, usually meant to target a single
entity, and not the general users of the web and of course who could blame
any software publishers for posting Mal-ware ridden versions of their top
pirated software on Torrent sites, in order to deter most from taking chances
with what they down load, not at all being what it may be labeled as being.

Although I agree many packages are price gouged at their release, who
really needs the most current anything, that has been so useful for numerous
years, to not just buy those on a clearance rack after a newer release comes
out, for instance now is the time to buy the Adobe CS3, with CS$ released
some months ago, you are likely to find it much less expensive and as
proficient since it was new when IT came out...so relative time is the only
difference.

Sorry; I DO wander sometimes, ADD/ADHD will do that LOL!

I will download this Anti-virus MS is finally offering for free, Kudos to
that decision, what company can better integrate such intimate software with
the operating system than those that designed it?

Getting back on track. What other possibilities could be responsible for
this error?

I can't claim to get the huge numbers of graphics based mail as some others,
but will say that over 85% of the emails I DO get, have images in them, but
only .CSS seems to come through, and there, only provided it isn't
referencing a 'background-image:url(http://www.you know
where.com/image.gif);'.

I am at a loss at this point, I will add that I had used a free registry
cleaner prior to this happening, but it allows for full backups to be made
and when restoring it, despite knowing the 169 entires were invalid, useless
keys, provided no results, so I allowed removal a second time, it was worth
the shot.

Since this is a brand new build, I have spent more than a week installing,
or rather, reinstalling allot of the after-market programs I use regularly,
so doing system restore is being reserved for a last ditch effort, since I
cannot afford to lose another week installing them all again. (I design and
build websites as a side line hence the heavy duty programs installs).

If there is any other information that would be more helpful than what I
have included in this post, please request it, I have clicked the
notification box, and will respond ASAP

Thank you for your time and attention, as well as patience and understanding
for having read through all of this, but I tried my best to resolve this
prior to coming here for help.

Gratefully yours,
Daniel: AKA TSG!

I removed "quoted" erroneous post.

Do you see the Infobar at the top of the message stating that Outlook blocked
the images? if not, then it's not an Outlook issue. Outlook cannot show
images inline when sent with Plain Text messages. It will show them inline
for Rich Text and HTML if they are embedded. If they're include as URLs, then
Outlook may block them, but it will tell you so and you can add the sender to
your Safe Sender list if you want Outlook to show you the images.

The problem is that either in the outlook preview pane or in the email
itself, we cannot view images. Even if we right click on them, they still
won't appear.

I had nortons 2010 installed but uninstalled it, still the problem persists.

Any help would be appreciated.
