This is a problem a lot of people are having, including myself. Judging by
the discussions, once it happens, it's difficult to solve.

It stopped working for me about a week ago when my company downloaded some
security patches. I reinstalled Outlook and that didn't solve the problem.
This isn't a fix (I'm still looking for that) but I found that if I put the
e-mail in Edit mode, then copy the image to Word, I can get it to display
there.

Hi

Office 2007 SP1 - Following install of SP1 I can no longer download pictures
in incoming emails. I get the usual prompt to download pictures but when I do
I get a placeholder with a red x inside.

I have checked the "Show Picture Placeholders" checkbox in Editor Options
Advanced (this is off - if set to on then all that happens is the red x
disappears from the placeholder).

It's also not a firewall issue as far as I can detect.

Has anyone got any ideas? I don't mind being prompted to download images,
but not having them when required is very limiting.

Thanks
