Outlook treats certain picture files sent to me as "mime" format

[Guest]

Email downloaded from my server into Outlook sometimes does not show pictures
inculed with text and other times treats the entire email as a mime file and
it goes to my junk email folder and when I open it is is all characters - no
picture?

on the second problem - what type of encoding is used? it sounds like
uuencode was used - or it's not sent as a two part message. This is usually
caused by the sender's client or the email server.

My problem usually occurs when I receive email from Yahoo and onlu when they
include a picture. It occurs occasionally when I receive email from others.
In those cases they have included a picture in the email text, but all I see
is an "x" box where the picture should appear. If I open these emails with
my server's email program instead of with Outlook everything is fine.
