I DON'T HAVE "BLOCK IMAGES AND OTHER EXTERNAL CONTENT"
now what do i do?

Answered my own question-to allow pictures to show up in the message body rather than attachments and you don't have "block images and other external content",
1.open outlook express
2.go to tools
3.go to options
4.select "read"
5.uncheck "read all messages in plain text"
6.select apply
7.select OK
8.restart outlook express

I am having the same trouble i.e. not being able to view pictures in outlook. However the solutions posted are for outlook express, and we only use Outlook.We are using XP service pack 2, and this issue didn't happen on W2K.

I would start by checking: Tools->Options, then the Security Tab, and then underneath "Download pictures", the "Change Automatic Download Settings..." button.

I have a problem. I send out a newletter to my members every month, and when ever i include picture in them, i host the pictures on my server and then i send the newletter out as HTML. Now when members or even i get the newletter, the imgaes don't show and i get a 'broken image' or a big red x.

Anyone know how i can fix this, if you want i can send u the email and ull see what i mean...

It depends on how you reference them from the server. You need to make sure that your email is referencing them as http://whatever... to the right location. Also make sure that the email clients are configured to actually show pictures.

I can't send pictures through Outlook in the 2003 Windows XP edition....NOT Outlook Express.

What am I doing wrong since a message shows up that Oytlook has automatically removed my attachments when SENDING an email.

Thank you!

I want to send emails with a formatted document that contains an image after the text. The text pastes correctly but the image always goes in as an attachment. I have outlook express 5. There is no option under tools. Any ideas?

Thanks

Make sure that the format of the email is *not* plain text in order to send in-line images.

I'm having difficulty forwarding images I receive via e-mail using Outlook Express. These images are not attachments. They are included in the body of the e-mail.

When I receive the e-mails the picture is quite clear. However, when I try to forward these e-mails the pictures do not go--the recipient only gets the text with a white box and a red "x" placeholder

When I forward an email using OE6 that has images (html) or jpg’s and I save it to my draft folder and go back all the images are gone and have a red X. If I forward them directly (not saving them to my draft folder) the recipient gets red X’s to. I get this message “Outlook Express one or more of the pictures in this message could not be found”

If I drag the same file that I forward to the draft folder the images ARE there and I can send it without any problem.

Here are some thinks that I have tried to do to fix the problem.

1 Option labeled Send Pictures with Message on the Format menu. Make sure that's selected to include any pictures with your outgoing messages.

2 Uncheck "read all messages in plain text" in tools/options.

3 Under tools/option/security tab. Uncheck the do not allow attachments to be open box, then uncheck the box just below the last one which say's...(block images and other external content).

4 Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus option is disenabled.

5 Under Tools/option/send tab I have “reply to messages using the format in witch they were sent. Mail sending format have HTML marked. And under “HTML Setting” I have “sent picture with message” enabled.

6 Cleared Temporary Internet Files and under Internet Explorer Tools/Internet/Options General Delete Files.
7 I have scanned for spywere and viruses.

8 I have tried to “save message as” pick HTML for file type and the images will still not show up.

9 I have also set my security level to “Medium-Low” in Internet Options.

Keep in mined that these are messages that were sent to me and are just find when I open them.
