I'd like to buy you that Latte, however I don't think we're from the same area. I suppose that this will be helpful, though I think my main obstruction is that rich text seems to be my default thingy. Though I do know how get plain text when I write an email. Is there a way I can fix plain text as my default?

I have Vista, IE7, a lot of the pictures that are on myspace do not show. If I right click the picture will appear. I have checked off to allow placeholders, but this has not helped. I also have pictures that don't show in my yahoo email.
Thank you

Re: forwarding emails with pictures. I have Outlook Express, and when I click on "Format", the "send pictures with message" is not in dark print and therefore does nothing. Help! And thanks.
I will confess to being electronically challenged so I did not understand a lot of the above info.

I found this article helpful in that the problem is must more complex than I expected. I send annoucements to a very large group of members and so I try to make them look nice with our logo and and a small image or two. I sent an email with 2 images one image appeared and the other one did not. One was a .jpg, the other a .gif. Does image format matter or is it image bite size? What is the best guideline? Is there a way to send an email message in a pdf format where images and text appear without moving around? I've even tried putting them in a chart format, but still don't get the result I want.

Hi, Leo: the non-answer in your article was underwhelming. Changing the HTML setting did not correct the inability of OE v6 to COPY pics and send/display them. Just the red X's. I'd like to choke the jerk who set this stuff up this way.

Outlook Express on the Sender's computer is not always the problem. My email program is IBM's Lotus Notes. I sent an email with photos to several friends. Most recipients received the email without any change to the photos. One recipient, however, had the pictures replaced with the red x's. Obviously, in this case, the Sender's computer, configuration, and/or server is NOT the source of the problem. I suggest troubleshooting begin with the simplest approach. Change email from TEXT mode to HTML. In my experience, this is most often the solution.

Why Don’t Pictures Show up in the e-mails I send or receive

I do not use Outlook Express. I still get quite a few e-mails with pictures embedded or attached which have been sent originally from a computer using Outlook Express which has not been properly configured. As a result the pictures will show up as a thin border with a red X in the upper left hand corner. oand sometimes only as a red X.

When I notified the sender of the pictures about this I usually always got an argument. The more computer illiterate my friend in question is the stronger he will argue usually saying: "but the pictures I initially received showed up fine on my computer”. After I replied to my friends e-mail and included the picture frames that I had received, my friend would let me know “the pictures that you returned to me in your reply e-mail to show me that you did not receive the pictures showed up on my computer”. That got me think and look into what could possibly be wrong. Little did I realize that the problem was a tiny check mark deep in the bowels of Outlook Express.

To date I cannot completely solve this problem caused by people using Outlook Express. The problem is caused by an incorrect setting in the original senders e-mail client most of the time Outlook Express.

I have no love for Outlook Express because I believe that it is another piece of ill designed software that Microsoft has foisted on Computer owners using Microsoft Windows and or Microsoft Office.

I discovered that the problem is normally caused by Outlook Express on the Original computer from which the pictures originally came down the line. Outlook Express was not properly set to include a link to the picture in the message rather than actually sending the picture itself. If the picture is on a website the link is OK. However a link to a file on a sender’s computer cannot be viewed on the recipients computer. However when you return the frames with the red X or sometimes only the red X without pictures to the sender, he or she can see the picture, that you saw only as a thin frame with a red X in the left upper corner.

I looked into this curious problem very seriously and discovered that Microsoft in its “Wisdom” placed an HTML option into Outlook Express which if left unchecked causes this problem.

To solve this problem here is what the original sender of the picture must do to his Outlook Express. You can send him or her the instructions given below if you know him oor her. If the problem was on a computer from way down the line it will be an impossible job to locate the original Oulook Express from which it originated :

1.0 Start Outlook Express
2.0 Left Click on Tools in the top Menu Bar, then left click on Options
3.0 Left click the Send Tab
4.0 In the Mail Sending Format Section makes sure that HTML is checked
Then click on the HTML Settings Button
5.0 Place a green check mark in the square to the left of Send pictures with messages.
6.0 Left click on OK
7.0 Left Click on Apply and then OK
Voila, the problem is solved the next time you get pictures from your immediate friends computer.

Do the same thing to your Outlook Express if you are using Outlook Express so that you do not send nice pictures that will show up as frames with a red X in the upper left hand corner on the recipients computer .

If this does not work, then it may stand to reason that one cannot change this problem as it may have originated way back down the line on some computer which had Outlook Express improperly configured.

All of you Outlook Express users. You do configure Outlook Express I hope.

With best regards and good luck to you all,

Dr. Arthur F. Billy

My Microsoft Outlook 2003 cannot view any pictures from any email.
The picture/photo is showing the "X" symbol.
What's wrong was that?

When I receive an e-mail with an image & text, I cannot copy/paste to a new e-mail to send. The image doesn't show, just the tet. Also when I forward, it does the same, no image.

Thank you.

I'm strictly using web-based e-mail
so I don't clutter my hard drive.

my yahoo e-mail address receives and
displays impages.

When I forward them, the images are
replaced with a box and red x.

How can I forward e-mail from a web-based
address and be sure the images are sent
with the text as well?

I have copied the text and images to my
clipboard then pasted them in an outgoing
message. However, the recepients did NOT
receive any images, just boxes and red Xs.

Thank you.

Karl

Would you have a specific fix for someone using AOL. I am not certain if AOL is actually downloaded into her system, or if she uses the AOL home page to access and send her mail.
But she has asked me why she is getting these red "x"s. I read the entire article. However AOL seems to have it's own problems as well.

Pictures won't show up in my Hotmail emails and it is frustrating because I have to then click on each attachment to open them, which then redirects them to be opened by Microsoft Picture Manager. This takes way too much time! Please help.

I have a client that can receive e-mails with images, but if he does a copy/paste of that same information into a new e-mail it disappears. There is no red X but you can see the "box" but not the image itself or it's just blank space. Also if he copied that exact message and tried to paste it into a Word document, the same thing happens. All of the text is there, but the pictures do not show up...only the space where the pictures should be (like they are invisible). Do you know what could be causing this? I checked his e-mail settings and he had html as the format and Word 2003 as his editor?

I'm running Outlook 2003 and create messages with a signature that is supposed to include my firm's logo. In each message I create, however, the firm logo is being stripped from the signature. I've tried dropping the general and junk mail security settings to their lowest possible setting, I've cleaned out the cache (though I'm sure that has nothing to do with the image being reduced from outgoing messages) and still no change. No one here can figure out what is going on. Any ideas? Thanks.

We experience the same problem here using Outlook 2003. Here's a fix we use - leave Outlook open, locate the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder, copy the location eg %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK..... and then navigate to this location, close Outlook and then delete the contents of the OLK.... folder. Re-open Outlook and you should now be able to view all images within messages. It appears this cache has a limit which is why images no longer show when the limit is reached.

it often happens to me that pictures do not show up on emails and websites too.
sometimes a litle red X will appear, and that is usually how i know there is at least a picture there and i can then right click and use show picture. but most often there is just a small blank space as if someone has simply pressed enter

like so! what would be causing this? is it soemthign to do with the memory on my computer? or is it simply a program or plugin missing?

Hi, I am running Windows XP- using both IE-7 and Firefox. If pictures are sent as attachments there is no problem. If they sent in the body then I get them rarely. Maybe 1 out of 10.
We use comcast and have a wireless network in our home. My wife can receive the same e-mail on her computer and gets the picture fine. This is the same for me in IE or Firefox. Am I doing something wrong?
Can you help me out? Thank you so much.

When I open my "send" email and I want to put a background or include a picture, even the "insert pictures" box has a red "X". Any ideas?

pictures are not showing in my received email. there is nothing to show they are missing, no red x or that they are in an attachment. the only way i know they are missing is when i reply or forward the message, they show up there. sometimes after bringing up the reply or forward screen, one or more of the pictures will then show in the original email to me. any suggestions?

You will receive an information bar at the top of the email saying that images are blocked. You can click on that and allow downloading pictures

I receive pictures in emails sent to me but when I forward them they don't show up. This has only started happening recently and I don't know why it suddenly changed. Previously I sent them with pictures and they were received. Any suggestions? I use windows XP

I have outlook 2003 on my computer. i set up an advanced signature in outlook and placed a picture of my compbay logo in the signature. When i compose a message the logo shows up perfect but anytime I hit reply my signature auto populates but the logo is not there (just the box with the red x). i have my settings on rich text. I have read the article above but cannot figure out how to fix this problem. it only happens on replys not on new message compose. I also checked and i have selected to have the signature show in both send and receives which is obvious I guess since the rest of my signature block always shows. Help!

thank you but I am still confused. I use outlook 2003 and my office uses outlook 2003. I am creating an email signature with pictures. it is a file and i am using "use this file as a template" to setup my signature. I can receive the perfect signature from my coworkers but when I create mine with the same file and same steps my pictures dont show up. I have tried everything. I have set up all the picture linked sites in my trusted sites (for outlook and IE). it is driving me insane. why can i see my coworkers but i cant create my own?? i have checked on everything i can think of related to viewing images.
thanks

I did a quick search for a solution on Ask Leo first, then decided to contact MSN Tech support while I searched for something here. I found it helpful to either print the instructions out or copy and paste them into to a Word or similar document...not using the Internet Explorer.

My "real-text editor" in Hotmail Plus disappeared a while back and was sent this solution by MSN Hotmail tech asistance. They were prompt and Thank Goodness, the problem was resolved with only the 2nd set of possibilities (item II):

This helped in the understanding but I still have a problem with Outlook 2003. Worked fine until I lost a hard disk and had to rebuild it. Now I can download some pictures but not others. I think the ones with a link are the problem. I have done the Outlook security untick thing but half suspect it may be something to do with Norton Internet Security 2006. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall Outlook but no joy.

I have read the article, and I understand some of it to a point. I have checked all the settings mentioned, and everything is set to send images in my email. (I have Outlook Express). I have no problem receiving images in email, and when I forward emails with images, they usually go through fine. My problem is with "copy and paste". When I use this method on an email that contains an image, I get a message that says "all images in this email could not be found,.....". It gives me the choice of sending or not sending the email. When I send it on anyway, the text sends but the images do not. I can't find any reference to this problem and don't know why it is happening.

First let state that I am not all that computer literate and stuff has to be explained in detail. All email that I send with pictures that I have received from others only shows a red x, pictures that I have received I moved to my drafts file. I used to be able to see these now when I try I get "there is no application associated with this file.....Help, I really enjoy some of the jokes from others and would love to pass them on But can't...FYI I have Earthlink total access and it is set up html. Thanks for your time I did read the article above but must be missing something...I would prefer not to use outlook express, just my totalaccess.
Also,I do not reveive photos from friends with AOL. HELP HELP

A red x may show up for a picture in emails if images are blocked by Outlook. Go to view and if the blocked images is dark (not gray) then click on it for images to show in that email. To turn it all the time, go to Tools>Options>Security Tab and under Download Images uncheck the Block Image Box. This will help with images in the body of the email but not attachments

Okay, I'm new to BellSouth Fast Access but not to AOL. Pictures we expected to see show up fast in DSL are not there. Right clicking on the Xin the box and clicking "show picture" did not result in the picture appearing. What do I do to fix this now and not having to play with keystrokes every time we have a pic to look at?
