This helped for me:

Basically flush out the old files in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKxxxxx\ and restart Outlook.

I sent an email to multiple recipients with pics that I inserted directly into email. Before I sent email I could see all the pictures clearly. After sending email, I rec'd a reply stating that they could not see pics. When I went into the email from my 'sent' box, it too did not show pics. My settings are set up as you have mentioned. (I am pretty computer savy and was already aware of this issue.) So, I could not understand the problem. This time, I again inserted pics into email and sent only to this one person who replied to my email. I also copied email to myself on two different email addresses. Upon openning email from both email addresses and by 'sent' box, pictures were there. I guess my question is: "Why would it work for three email recipients, but not 10+??"

The following link worked for me too:

I had the same problem too where i would receive an email from someone, but couldnt see the picture in my Outlook email body (only the little red X), but when i clicked reply, i could see the picture.

I had the problem in Outlook 2002. Images were appearing ok. But suddenly they stopped displaying. Only X mark comes. As per te instruction in one of the comments above, I went to the OLK folder under the Temporary Internet Files and deleted all the documents there. It works now!!! Thanks

I'm using Hotmail, not Outlook. I designed a newsletter with some small jpgs and one clip art, but nothing shows up but the white boxes with red xs. I tried designing the letter in Word and saved in Rich Text,html,&ever other way it could be saved. The colors, borders, fonts all show up fine, just no photos. Any help?

Make a copy of picture,I usually save in my pictures, paste it into your paint program, save it, then on the email click insert, find your photo, open it then ok it to your email. hope I have explained this clearly enough. It will be a photo in the body of the email
