MAIL BLOCK ?

I get eMail from various e-tailers, manufacturers, etc.

Ever since the last Microsoft download/update,
these eMails come in without graphics.

I receive the message, but then display a blank box,
with alittle red x in it.

I'm sure it has to do with the security settings....
but
what to do ?? what to do ?

How can I get this eMail content back ?

XP? Did it start after installing SP2? There should be a
message between the Message Header and the message that
says, "Some pictures have been
blocked..............................Click
here................".

Is that the case?

Occasionally I see the "pics blocked" symbol . (?)

More often than not, it's just eMail from a business
with much of the text cleared, outline boxes, and little red x's.

You are reading in HTML and not Plain Text, correct? See if
anything here helps.

There are a few possibilities. Some are on the sender's end,
and some may be on your end.
