Default Pictures blocked

Interestingly enough, I sent this email to my brother who only got red X's
where the photos were supposed to be and he replied to my original.

His browser is set to include the original in the response and when I got
the response the photos displayed correctly.???? Checking the properties
of the photos shows this url.

Still researching the issue.

What else can cause photos embedded in email to be blocked besides
Tools-Options-Security-"Do not attachments to be saved or opened

....."???


There is also the option for Tools - Options - Security - Block
images.
This will blocked any linked objects in an HTML-formatted e-mails, like

for
IMG tags.



Then it sounds like you are using a local path to the image file rather than
using an embedded image (e.g., copy/paste) or providing a URL link to it
residing on some online storage from which the recipient can yank it.

Look at the raw data for the message (Ctrl+F3) to see what path is specified
in the IMG tag. You probably have something like
href="C:\folder\image.jpeg" which only has meaning on YOUR host because the
recipient won't have a matching file under that specific path on their host.
