SP2 Can't View All Email Content

I downloaded SP2 for Windows XP and ever since, I can't
see all the little pictures in my emails. I use Outlook
Express. All I see now is those boxes with the little
red X's in them. Under OE "Options," "Security," I
unchecked the box that says "Block images and other
external content in HTML e-mail." In Internet
Explorer, "Tools" I tried to tweak those options as well,
but nothing seems to help. What am I missing? Thanks!

In OE, go to Tools, Options, Security and uncheck the box next to "Block
images...." and you will have this functionality.

You need also to take it out of 'read in plain text'. I would suggest
you have these settings on while getting mail - the point of the new
block is scum mail having these little pictures concealing content that
can phone home
Turn off when you know you are looking at legitimate mail and nothing
else
