Default Red x

Yes, he sends his emails in one go but the people I have asked are using
the
same internet service I am and he does also. Their email is fine with no
red
x. BUT, all other email from others I get has the pictures even from the
same
internet service that we use. If it was something on my end wouldn't it be
doing it with all of my email and not just the ones from him? I have tried
Thunderbird and it is doing the same thing. No pictures. No, I don't have
Outlook Express set to not accept attachments that could be dangerous?
That
has been turned off and still is. It's just strange to me that I get
embedded
pictures just fine from everyone except him and that others get it just
fine
from him even though we all use the same internet service.

Yes, he is forwarding them but no he nor any of the others are AOL

can receive from others with it showing. But, this is the strange
part, he is sending these messages all as a group. He and others
including myself all use the same internet service. The others get
these same emails with the graphics showing. If it was on my end, I
wouldn't be receiving from myself and others with the graphics
showing, would I. Plus, if it was on his end, the others that he sent
it to at the same time as myself wouldn't be getting them with the
graphics showing, would they? This is weird. Can anyone explain this?

If you can send yourself an HTML message with embedded graphics and
you can see the graphics, not a Red X, in the received email, the
problem is NOT on your end.

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.

Assuming he sends all the mails in one go and not separate sessions, then
if
some recipien ts see the images OK and some do not, it is NOT anything at
his end. It's highly likely to be a setting on your own computer's
client
or in your account settings at your ISP.

Too many variables/possibilities and too little detail to target a
response
accurately, but ...
-- Is your ISP scraping and deleting the attachments? Usually that's a
selection around the AV protection area of the ISP's settings, on his
server.
-- Are you the only one in your group that uses your particular ISP?
ISPs
can have differeing settings and defaults so if ISP X works OK, that
doesn't
really say ISP Y will work OK.
-- Have you set your client Options to not accept attachments that could
be
dangerous? If so, turn it off.
-- The fact that others see them isn't helpful unless you also know that
all
the others are using the SAME mail client and version of their mail
client
as you are using, have all selected the same virus and spam an d
attatchmen
t settings the ISP may offer and all are identical.
-- Have you, just for grins, tried installing Thunderbird or any other
mail
client to see if it sees the images OK? If another client does see them,
then it's going to be some setting on your end. Actually that's what I
suspect it's going to end up being anyway. Try comparing you computer
account and ISP settings with someone and look for differences, and/ore
try
installing a different mail client. The browser counterpart of
Thunderbird
is FireFox - an excellent browser with only a couple very annoying
"features" but they're harmless.

HTH,
