I have Windows Vista. I have been sending pictures to my email for quite some time. Lately they have not been sowing up. I get the attachment, sometimes but I continuously get "Loading Message." That shouldn't be. The picture should come up right away. I switched to WiFi but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. What do I do? Please help.

I have a friend who sends me photographs. If I click on the paper clip I'm able to open each photo individually.
Why am I unable to simply scroll through the pics rather than open each one individually?

It depends on the email program you're using. Some do, some don't automatically do that. More here: Why do pictures in email sometimes show up in-line, and sometimes as attachments?

I send an email from a yahoo account to gmail account and hotmail account that contains a picture in the body. It displays fine on gmail.
On hotmail I get a red x, which I try to get to display and nothing happens. How do I get the picture to display automatically on hotmail?

I tried all of the above - and more - and none of it is working. I still can't see any pictures. I use Mozilla Firefox as my default browser - any idea if that's an issue? I have my Yahoo emails coming in to Outlook. It's very depressing and makes me want to switch back to just using Yahoo. Thanks for any help!

I had this same problem and here is the fix that worked for me
Open IE and select TOOLS. Then select INTERNET OPTIONS, then select the ADVANCED Tab. Go to the bottom and click RESET INTERNET EXPLORER and then above that click RESTORE ADVANCED SETTINGS. save and close, and reboot. Then open Outlook and you should be able to see all your email HTML photos. Good Luck..

I ASKED YOU FOR INFORMATION ABOUT IMAGES/PHOTOS NOT DISPLAYING ON E-MAILS I FORWARD TO FRIENDS WITH WHICH YOU SUGGESTED THAT I DOWNLOAD PC PATROL SOFTWARE WITH WHICH YOU SAID IT WOULD CLEAR THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS NOT. NOW YOU TELL ME TO GET UNIBLUE. IT COST ME ENOUGH TO PURCHASE PC PATROL WHICH DID NOT WORK. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER IDEA THAT CAN CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

SINCERELY,

F M DUFF

I've never recommended either of these programs, much less for the problem you're experiencing. I suspect you're confusing an ad with a recommendation.

Hi again,

My earlier comment touched on sending emails with images. If you have received emails with images that displayed as a red x, click on the Forward email button and you should be able to see the affected image most of the time. Yeah, only most of the time but not all the time. It's worth a try though.

Another way is to send my earlier comment and solution to the sender and hopefully you will not receive any more red x images thereafter. Spread the word if it works.

Cheers!

Hi Leo,

All you have written on this problem, noted and long understood as I am not a beginner using Outlook. Despite all your advice, the problem still persists and especially frustrating when my logo image becomes a small red x when it is received by the email recipient. Finally I seem to have found an unconventional solution to it and would like to share with you guys.

When I send out a list of images, I noticed that only the first image on top is received as a small red x while the other images are displayed. The same goes if I embed a series of images in my email signature. Obviously if only one image is sent, this single image becomes a red x.

In order to resolve this, I first created a very small jpg file which can be in the form of a transparent or white line or a white dot. This jpg file acts as a dummy to fool Outlook. Insert this dummy file ON TOP of the intended image(s) you want to display and viola!, the image will not display into a red x when it is received and the dummy image file is unseen because it is transparent or white against a white background. Surprisingly the dummy image does not appear as a red x either probably because the dummy file is very very small.

You don't have to insert the dummy image on top of every image that you want to sent. Just make sure that the dummy image is on top or first on a list of images that you want to send.

One word of caution though if you are embedding this dummy image in your email signature in order to display your logo in your emails. You need to monitor it as it may not work after some time. All you have to do is to replace that dummy image file with another dummy image file and it's back to normal.

Furthermore, make sure that you do not unintentionally delete this dummy image (which can happen since it is "hidden")when you sent out your email.

I am very happy with the results so far and try it if you cannot find any other answers. Good luck!

forwarding email omits pictures, only text sent.
outlook is totally useless for me as it will only work with paid email accounts, so forget them !

For the record, Outlook will work with all email providers that support POP3/IMAP and SMTP. Free services like Hotmail and GMail included.

Hi,

I want to add one more solution I've found in a Microsoft forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrclients/thread/9711349e-c156-45cf-ab2e-309a18317fad/

Maybe the image you aren't able to see is repeated (up to 99 times) in Outlook's temporary folder (search its location in the Windows Registry looking for the key "OutlookSecureTempFolder").

Once you have the path, go to it in an Explorer window and delete all the picture files that may be duplicated (or just delete every picture, they're all temporary files).

Then, even without restarting Outlook, you'll be able to see the missing signature pictures! ;-)

Regards,
Gonzalo.

Dearest Leo,

Great news: I have one more solution to the problem of the red X instead of a graphic.

I am now up to 4 hours of trying to solve this problem. Numerous google searches lead me to about 10 different proposed solutions, none of which worked.

I encourage you strongly to publish my following solution. I concluded after all this web browsing that lots of people are struggling with this problem and the solution sites are not helping.

I have been a software developer for 30 years and a user of Outlook for nearly 12 years. This one did not come to me intuitively because the behaviour of Outlook is so random and lacks any error message.

I simply had to compress the file a little further. My graphic file was 52 kB and it was turning into a little red X without any particular predictability. Sometimes it shipped as a full graphic other times it turned into the red X..

I did some trial and error on the size of my graphic. When I reduced it to 15 kB it remained fully intact as a part of my outlook signature.

And now for a request: I am not planning to renew my membership on the experts exchange as I no longer earn a living in information technology. However I have been developer in Visual Basic and Microsoft Access since 1995. Now I am building my own web site with the most simple tools, but it is still requiring some HTML.

I wonder if this contribution to your site would qualify me as an expert and allow me membership access to the site. I would not be a heavy user and I have no IT customers to serve.

What you think? Here's wishing you a great day and joy in your career.

I don't know if this can be done at all but I hope I can explain myself... I want to upload a message in the form of an image but the image contains html tags (slices created in photoshop). Upon saving the image it changes to a .html extension. Is there an html code that I can use to display the .html as an image with clickable links??

A friend sent me some email from his iPhone with a photo in it. I then forward the email on to another person. I tap the button to include attachments when the iPhone presents that option. The emails go, but the images are not included. On the receiving end I see that the forwarded email is only 6kB, so I'm pretty sure the image never left the iPhone.

Any ideas?
Jim

The problem I had fixed a long time ago reappeared when I installed Windows 7, probably because it resetted the defaults for I.E. 8. The solution (courtesy of Marsha) is
1) click on security tab of I.E. options
2) click on custom
3) in the topbox scroll down to "miscellaneous"
4) under "Display mixed content" click the "enable" button.
5) OK
For my configuration (Outlook 7, I.E. 8, Windows 7), but probably for many others it cured two problems:
a) the infamous red "x"'s
b) the nagging "both secure and non secure data" (I assume my antivirus will catch the non https data if they are dangerous).
Hope it works for you too

I found the solution to the previous post. Apparently the image cache was corrupted or being blocked by something, the latter being more likely. The workaround was to append a querystring containing a timestamp to the image url. This seems to have fixed the problem for now.

I have a script which I am using to send html emails. I receive the test messages with outlook express, gmail and yahoo mail and they all look fine.

My friend receives the emails with outlook2007 or the web mail client from 1&1 and most of the images are stripped out. The logo on top and last 3 images come through ok. Where the other images are supposed to be, there is not even a red x. When I look at the message source from my friends received stripped emails, the image tags are not even there for most of the images. What would cause the image tags to actually be stripped out of an html message?

Would a security program like avg or computer associates be the culprit stripping out the image tags of do you think it is an outlook issue?.

Thank You,

Phill

I still only get the red x in my Incredimail e-mails. Its funny tho. I will see about 9 or 10 red x boxxes and then at the bottom of the page the pictures will show up.

Just at the bottom o the e-mail window. I have did all the suggested Fixes eople have put in here and MANY MANY other places and I still have not been able to fix this problem.

People on here have suggested all kinds of fixes but NOT 1 Of them have worked so far.

I guess I'm doomed to see the red X'S for life i guess.

i can't send pictures via email an error keeps saying the host smtp could not be found please verify that you have entered the servers name correctly how do i correct this and enter the correct servers name

This has nothing to do with pictures. Your email configuration would appear to be in error. Check with your email provider or ISP for the correct settigns, paying particular attention to the SMTP settings used for sending. Make sure you get them exactly right.

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 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+??"

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

I tried all the suggestion above without success. finally I figured out that something to do with the Microsoft Firewall Client. I don't have much details what had been setup in the ISA server... but when I disable the FWC, and turn on the internet proxy setting , all pictures are download in the outlook mail... so I tested again by enabling the FWC on my desktop then back to the redX issue... hope someone can tell me what's the reasons... thanks

I fought this issue for 2 hours this morning. I have done what everyone was saying, but nothing was helping. I changed image settings in Outlook and in Internet Explorer. I did the OLK file removal; didn't help. Here's the solution. Open Internet Options, click to delete browsing history. Delete All AND check the box about deleting the other stuff, too. As soon as I did that, it works.

I have had this frustrating problem on several PCs running XP and Outlook 2003. I have read postings in dozens of forums. A few of the things I tried were as follows:

Deleting the Registry Key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder. -was not the problem

Navigated to the "OLK" folder and cleaned it out. (This was very nicely defined in Julie's December 9th 2008 post). -was not the problem

Chose not to use Microsoft Word as my Outlook Editor. -was not the problem

Finally, in what should have been my first step, I checked the Outlook add-In Manager under; Tools, Options, Other, Advanced Options, Add-In Manager. I removed all Add-Ins and found it by eliminating the others as "suspect". The offender was: AVG Exchange Extension. Simply uncheck the box and restart Outlook. That did it for me, it works.

We had this same issue at work. I searched the Internet and here�s the solution that is supposed to work but I assume needs Admin privileges. (At work, only IT employees have Admin privileges so we can't adjust this without their assistance.)

1. Exit out of Outlook 2003 on the machine with the issue
2. Open the registry (Start->Run->type cmd->click Ok)
3. Navigate and open the following registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security\OutlookSecureTempFolder
4. Within the key�it should say something like %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK3D\
5. Highlight and delete %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK3D\
6. Close out of the registry and open Outlook 2003!

I kept trying to figure out if there was another solution and found that if you embed an image of a format other than jpg, it worked for us. Maybe that will solve the issue for some people.

Dont forget about the "OLK" directory hidden in Outlook 2000 and up. It also stores images when one is opened from within the Outlook Client and once so many images with the name "IMAGE01.JPG" get in there they don't show properly until the "OLK" directory is cleaned out. Unfortunately you can't navigate to that directory using the standard explorer.exe (Windows Explorer) you have to manually find what the name of yours is and type is in the address bar of Windows Explorer to view the files stored in it. Easiest way to find out what yours is? By opening a word, excel or other saveable document from within outlook and once it is open choose "File\Save As". The default directory that opens will give you the name and path you need to type into Explore. Regards!

Using Internet explorer as my browser to open my msn.com e-mail (via my newly acqired Gwest DSL), pictures that are .gif and in the body of the e-mail show only as gray boxes. If I open them using my MSN browser and sign into my MSN mail account, the pictures open. I have turned off the "automatically detect settings" box in IE and that didn't help. Microsoft e-mail support suggested that I do a google search to see if anyone out ther had answers. So much for support! I can't believe the solution could be that difficult for someone technically inclined. Of course the obvious solution is to use the MSN browser!

Leo, I use Outlook Express and send many emails with a flyer (jpg and pdf) with only type and no pictures. Most of the recipients do not see the jpg and only see the attachments. What can I do for them to see the jpg upon clicking on the email? Thanks.

I'm afraid that may not be in your control. See this article: Why do pictures in email sometimes show up in-line, and sometimes as attachments?

Thanks to Leo,

I found this article helpful since I was also battling to get pictures shown up on my received email.

Leo had a point when he said "Most email programs that display HTML email actually use a browser such as Internet Explorer to do so."

All I did to resolve my problem was:

Opening Internet Explore -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Connection -> LAN Settings -> Unchecked the Automatically detect settings check box.

The pictures that I send by email to my friends can't be open on their email.I use HTML and maybe that could be the reason. But i'm very puzzled that this happens with all my email friends. They keep on telling me they can't see any pictures when I send them.Should I try the option that you have mention. (On the options button push SEND PICTURES WITH MESSAGE on the format menu.

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

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.

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):

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?

Some of you were having problems with pictures showing up in emails you were sending. My mother was having the same problem. We solved her problem by doing the following. Open Outlook Express. Click on Tools and then Options. Next, click on the Send tab. Make sure there is a dot where it has HTML for Mail Sending Format. (If there isn't, you simply left click in the circle to get one there.) To the right of that, click on HTML Settings. Put a check where it has Send pictures with messages. Click OK, Apply and OK. Hopefully this will solve the problem for at least some of you. Good luck!

Make sure that your default web browser is working correctly. We have Firefox installed, but Outlook was using IE as the default web browser, which was not configured properly.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

Have a problem with outlook 2003 sending pictures as a attachement. Any one that I send an picture to as an attachement come through ether 1/10 of the top showing up or not at all.

It all most seam like it started to put the picture make together and forgot how to assemble it at the other end. I can send a picture from my wife pc to me going thru the same connection and the same ISP and it come in just fine, if I take that picture and resend it to my self to my computer its all missed up. Why? any reasons? I have checked all that I know how or what to check and now I'm at the end of my rope with this problem, needing very much help.

Re #4. Mine doesn't have the box just below. I have OE Ver: 6.00.2800.1123. What do I do on this version? Some I receive are OK, others are not. People can't open some that I see OK when I Fwd.

Also, when I go on vacation and use another ISP, I can receive email with OE, but cannot send. I've used different IPS's with dial-up and DSL. Don't matter. I've talked to customer support at AOL, Qwest, and Outlook Express and they don't have a clue. Does anyone?

here's how to fix this(Why don't pictures show up in the emails I send or receive)....
1. open outlook express
2. goto tools then options

I wish you and Patrick would go back to TSS. I know this isn't the place for this subject, but I knew I'd get your attention.

I am 46 and I used to enjoy watching the "old" ScreenSavers, now it seem it's a "gamers" show, for those under 30.

I don't watch it but only now for Sarah's downloads, I miss the "old folk". I can't relate to anything on the show any more.

Maybe you and Patrick could do an "over 40" ScreenSaver show. I miss both you two together.

You are so smart and helpful. Thank you.

I am using Outlook Express. I've tried running my email on both Plain Text and HTML to solve this problem and neither helped. I can't find the setting which allows pictures to show up in the message body rather then as attachments. These are the type emails which have pictures embedded as part of a story or joke. Only blank spaces appear where the picture would be embedded. They are not the type forwards or emails that would have these images sent as attachments, but that is how they show up anyway.

I'm not *exactly* sure what scenario you're describing. Can you be more specific about what works and what doesn't, and include whether or not the pictures show up in the body of the message, or as attachments.

For what it's worth, sending pictures as attachments typically works the best. In-line pictures are error prone for several reasons. If you receive them as in-line, ask your daughter to send them as attachments instead.

I've had e-mails sent to me from persons who use Yahoo.com as their ISP. I have Windows 98 and use AOL version 5.0. I am often not able to view their
attached pictures. When I asked AOL about this, I was told that the pictures are "embedded" and I would need to go to www.aol.com and access my e-mail in this rounabout way. I was able to do this, but recently those pictures came up blurry and looking similar to a picture that is colored by the numbers with crayons, and out of focus.
Could these people not send the pictures as an attachment JPEG file instead? Or how can I get those pictures on my screen into clearer focus?
