Outlook Pictures

[Guest]

Why do I frequently receive emails that display a red "X" where the pictures
should be? This doesn't happen with all senders, but just with some.

Also, when I attempt to send pictures (after having done a copy/paste) my
sent emails ALSO show red "X's" where the pictures should be.

Probably some kind of security setting, but I've looked at changing this and
can't find anything that works.

Don't know if this will help but we had the problem where certain
users wouldn't see inline pictures. What fixed it was deleting the
Outlook cache directory contents (or you can delete the whole folder -
Outlook will create it again). Usually at Documents and Settings
\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKXX. The
folder will start with OLK and have some other numbers/characters.
You can also find it by opening an attachment, say a Word document,
and do a File, Save As. That will show you the temp directory. And I
will
add this took me quite a while to figure out ;-) I put a shortcut to
this directory on those users' desktops so they could empty out the
folder as it seemed to happen again and again.

Hope this helps,

the folder is the securetemp folder - you can also open it using %temp%
