Hi Ted,

First check the setting for reading messages in plain text. Deselect the
option if the box is checked.

OE Tools, Options, Read tab

Apply, then OK, then see if the picture shows in the Preview Pane.

OE6 has suddenly lost the ability to show
.jpg attachments in the preview pane.
I can click on the paperclip then pic.jpg
and open ok (Irfanview).
I havn't intentionally changed anything in OE.
Don't know where to start on this.
Ted
