If you can send yourself an HTML message with embedded graphics and you
can
see the graphics, not a Red X, in the received email, the problem is NOT
on
your end.

Yes, my virus applications are configured to scan my email coming and going.

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec says
it's not necessary:

QP
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

Assuming he sends all the mails in one go and not separate sessions, then if
some recipien ts see the images OK and some do not, it is NOT anything at
his end. It's highly likely to be a setting on your own computer's client
or in your account settings at your ISP.

Too many variables/possibilities and too little detail to target a response
accurately, but ...
-- Is your ISP scraping and deleting the attachments? Usually that's a
selection around the AV protection area of the ISP's settings, on his
server.
-- Are you the only one in your group that uses your particular ISP? ISPs
can have differeing settings and defaults so if ISP X works OK, that doesn't
really say ISP Y will work OK.
-- Have you set your client Options to not accept attachments that could be
dangerous? If so, turn it off.
-- The fact that others see them isn't helpful unless you also know that all
the others are using the SAME mail client and version of their mail client
as you are using, have all selected the same virus and spam an d attatchmen
t settings the ISP may offer and all are identical.
-- Have you, just for grins, tried installing Thunderbird or any other mail
client to see if it sees the images OK? If another client does see them,
then it's going to be some setting on your end. Actually that's what I
suspect it's going to end up being anyway. Try comparing you computer
account and ISP settings with someone and look for differences, and/ore try
installing a different mail client. The browser counterpart of Thunderbird
is FireFox - an excellent browser with only a couple very annoying
"features" but they're harmless.

HTH,

Twayne

By any chance is he on a Macintosh computer? Some older systems do not
append a file suffix ".jpg" so A Windows system has no way of defining
what it is unless there is personal intervention in correcting the
filename.

If on a Mac his system may also be encoding the file differently before
attaching for purposes of sending via e-mail.

If you are seeing the red 'x' that may also mean your security settings
are too high and OE is preventing them from displaying. Now I see you
said you checked those but try checking again.

OE is dependant on IE so your security settings for IE would be where to
look.

Also while you may see a red x in the display pane, are the images
actually attached there and can you save them to disk to view that way?

No, he isn't using a Mac. I hate to be a nuisance for repeating myself but it
seems like I need to remind others that this is only a problem from him and
not other correspondents and just to me and not the others he sends it to at
the same time. Thanks everyone for trying to figure it out for me.
Apparently, it is just another unexplainable, crazy computer problem. Thanks
again.
