You didn't say that you checked the source and the pictures are attached.
If the pictures are not attached, then the problem is not in OE.
If you Ctrl + F3, you should have several lines of

I have Outlook Express 6 and Internet Explorer 7. I received an e-mail
with
red x’s in place of some photos. I right-clicked the red x’s hoping to
find
a Show Picture link in the context menu, but it was not there.

I then clicked Tools, Options, Security tab in Outlook Express hoping to
find a check in the box labeled Block images and other external content in
HTML e-mail, but it was unchecked.

I then went to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab, Multimedia heading
in
Internet Explorer hoping to find the box labeled Show Pictures unchecked,
but
it was checked.

I then went back to the sender of the e-mail and asked him:: 1. To go to
Tools, Options, Send, Mail sending format, click on the HTML Settings
button,
and make certain Send Pictures With Messages is checked. And 2. To send
the
e-mail with the embedded pictures to his e-mail address. He replied that
the
Send Pictures box was checked and he sent an e-mail to himself and the
pictures appeared.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to change the red x’s to the embedded
pictures?
