Viewing Pics in Outlook emails

[abacojack]

any time I receive a email with pictures in the email they are removed, leaving a box with a red x in the top left corner. And the pictures are sent as attachements.

is there a setting i must change in order to view the pictures in the email as they were sent

In Outlook Express, go to Tools>Options>Security tab and uncheck "Block pictures and other external content in HTML mail," click OK.

If that's already unchecked (or isn't there), on the Send tab, Mail Sending Format, HTML Settings button, make sure "Send pictures with messages" is checked. Don't know why that affects receiving pics but sometimes it does.
