Default GIF files

Hi Bruce

Yes had unchecked that "Do not allow etc"

Its not a red X but a small logo consisting of a red square, a green circle
and a blue triangle with the name of the file next to it.

The email was sent from a Hotmail Account - am wondering if that is the
reason?When I double click on the file it opens in Picture Manager and the
image is not what I would have expected.

Thanks

Bill

Did you open the attachment as well as the mail?

Tools | Options | Security. Uncheck: " Do not allow
attachments.................".

Do you see a red X where the picture should be?

I Need some help with settings in a new computer.

I have received an email that contains a number of illustrations as
attachments in gif format that do not resolve when I open the mail.

I've cleared temporary internet files to no avail.

Have also looked in Tools/Options/Read and can't see any relevant
settings.
