Why would that be "wrong"? Clarification?

No, he isn't using a Mac. I hate to be a nuisance for repeating
myself but
it
seems like I need to remind others that this is only a problem
from him and
not other correspondents and just to me and not the others he
sends it to
at
the same time. Thanks everyone for trying to figure it out for me.
Apparently, it is just another unexplainable, crazy computer
problem. Thanks
again.

I know this subject has been discussed before but I haven't found
anything that covers my problem. All email I receive from this
one person has the red x if there is a picture in it. BUT, all
email I get with pictures from others works fine. Before you
tell me it's on his end, he also sends it to several other
people I know and they say theirs has the picutres and NOT the
red x. I have checked my firewall, virus, etc. settings and can
not find the problem. It's strange to me that all email works
except the ones from him and that others gets the same email
from him that is sent at the same time and theirs has the
picture. It seems like if it's a setting on my end, then why are
the others working? Plus, if it's something he's doing, why does
everyone else get it with the picture and not the red x? Can
anyone explain this? This is weird. Thanks.


By any chance is he on a Macintosh computer? Some older systems
do not append a file suffix ".jpg" so A Windows system has no way
of defining what it is unless there is personal intervention in
correcting the filename.

If on a Mac his system may also be encoding the file differently
before attaching for purposes of sending via e-mail.

If you are seeing the red 'x' that may also mean your security
settings are too high and OE is preventing them from displaying.
Now I see you said you checked those but try checking again.

OE is dependant on IE so your security settings for IE would be
where to
look.

Also while you may see a red x in the display pane, are the images
actually attached there and can you save them to disk to view
that way?
