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.

I know this subject has been discussed before but I haven't found
anything that covers my problem. All email I receive from this one
person has the red x if there is a picture in it. BUT, all email I
get with pictures from others works fine. Before you tell me it's on
his end, he also sends it to several other people I know and they say
theirs has the picutres and NOT the red x. I have checked my
firewall, virus, etc. settings and can not find the problem. It's
strange to me that all email works except the ones from him and that
others gets the same email from him that is sent at the same time and
theirs has the picture. It seems like if it's a setting on my end,
then why are the others working? Plus, if it's something he's doing,
why does everyone else get it with the picture and not the red x? Can
anyone explain this? This is weird. Thanks.


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?

.

Is he Forwarding all of these messages and is he an AOL subscriber and/or
are the other recipients AOL subscribers?

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.
