Guest JohnD Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 From time to time in my email I get included pictures that display as an empty frame with a little red x in the top left hand corner. This happens in both my AOL account and my Verizon inbox so it doesn't seem to be associated with the email software. I am using XP Pro Any ideas?

Guest JohnD Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Re: Pictures don't display If I send myself an email containing any graphic that I can see on my screen, like in Windows preview or photoshop, then the embedded graphic displays in the email. However, if I forward myself an email containing one of the mystery graphics then it still doesn't display. Also, these blank areas are completely unresponsive to any action I try to take. Right clicking does nothing. Clicking on the red x does nothing. I cannot highlight them and save or copy them. Also I get the same result if I open the email on any of the 4 workstations on my network.

Guest PA Bear Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Re: Pictures don't display From your description, the problem lies in the formatting (i.e., source of the embedded graphic) in the original message, John. Not much you can do about it, short of saving the graphic to your HDD and then attaching it to the Forwarded message. -- ~PA Bear JohnD wrote: > If I send myself an email containing any graphic that I can see on my > screen, like in Windows preview or photoshop, then the embedded graphic > displays in the email. > > However, if I forward myself an email containing one of the mystery > graphics > then it still doesn't display.
