If the images are in fact linked to a website, they may or may not be
attached. Many users work offline if they are including images linked to a
website so that the images do not increase the overall file size.

You would have to look at the HTML coding (highlight the message and press
Ctrl+F2) or forward it after setting your options to use Plain Text and to
not reply using format in which sent. In that case, images that are in fact
attached, will appear in the line just below the Subject.

As far as references to IE, please remember that OE uses the rendering
engine for HTML messages that is part of IE.

Went there and it is primarily specific to IE (with which I have no
issue). did do a few of the mentioned suggestions but to no avail. The
primary direction of concern would seem to be that the images are somehow
linked to a website and that the website is down, broken or blocked from
access. However, since the image does exist as an attachment, that would
not seem to be the case. I did all of the settings things and since it is
there as an attachment, the image has not been stripped from the email.

For other people's reference, these sites also seemed helpful:

I seemingly have the same issue as that descrived below. An email with
jpg's is not displaying thei mages, only an empty box with the little red
'x' in the corner. If I change the settings to Plain Text only, I get a
link there instead of a box. Yet, if I click on the jpg file in the
attachment box, it opens up properly (in Photo Editor, in this case).

Is there a different problem at work here. Thanks, Lar

Wow...I've tested what you said and your advice is certainly correct!
It will be a couple of days until I can get at the other machine to
check out the settings. I hope it is this simple. Thank you very much.

Plain text messages with attached images in OE (when not with it set
to read messages in plain text only) will display the images at the
bottom of the message. I think if you set OE to read in plain text
only, then it won't do this. Similarly, there is a registry hack the
user can make to change this behavior, but that blocks the ability to
read messages in plain text only.

Joy, I am trying to puzzle out the same issue. Let me use my own
words. On my machine if I send an e-mail with a picture attached, the
recipient, when he opens the e-mail, see the text I have written
followed by the opened picture. On another similar computer system,
when the recipient opens the e-mail, only the text shows. The
recipient must click on the picture file icon in the "attachment"
line to open the picture. My question: what adjustment is making the
difference in response?

Someone just sent me several .jpg images. They open OK from the
Attach window, but usually they show up in the body of the e-mail.
I haven't changed any settings, but I can't remember where to look
to make sure that they DO show in the e-mail itself.
