It indicates that the message references a picture and OE is unable to
display it for some reason.
The problem could be either on the sender's end or recipient's end. If
it it's only an occasional problem and usually from the same sender,
then it's most likely at the sender's end.
Problem at Sender's end:
- OLEXP: Image May Not Appear in Message Sent with Outlook Express (all
versions of OE)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=171908
- OLEXP: Images in E-Mail Messages Are Missing After You Apply
Stationery
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=256974
- There was a bug in a update to OE6 awhile back where if an HTML
message uses the same image multiple time, only the first occurrence
will display. This is a problem on the sender's end where OE generates
bad HTML links.
- OLEXP: Image May Not Appear in Message Received with Outlook Express
(very rare cause)
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=246186
Problem at Recipient's end:
- Red X instead of picture
http://www.fjsmjs.com/IE/redx.htm
- Images are blocked when you open an e-mail message in Outlook Express
SP2+
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=843018
- If using XP SP2+ and Tools, Options, Read, Read All Message In Plain
Text is selected, then attached images are not automatically displayed
at the bottom of the message. For a quick workaround for the current
message, press ALT+Shift+H
- Image preview stops working
http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#nopreview
- Hotbar can cause image problems
http://www.thundercloud.net/help/hotbar-is-spyware.htm
- Another possible cause of problems is a corrupted cache. Try clearing
it.
IE5+: Tools, Internet Options, General, Temporary Internet Files, Delete
Files
Temporary Internet Files Use More Disk Space Than Specified

I'm running OE 6 in XP Pro. I occasionally get e mail where I can see
a large
blank box with only a small red "x" in the top left of the blank area.
Clicking on the red x does nothing. I recall that this is a problem
created
by the sender.
Any help for me to open and read these?
Thanks
