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.

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.

Bruce, I've gone to the key mentioned in the article
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{big long number}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\5.0\), and there is no reference to "Automatically Inline Images"
etc. I am using Windows XP Home Edition and Outlook Express 6. Any idea what
the author meant?

If they were Inserted, they are in the message body. If they were
Attached, they will be visible *after* the message body unless you did a
reg hack such as this:

You're right about that. Maybe that option was removed by SP2. I haven't
checked it in a long time. Hopefully someone will have an answer.

In the meanwhile, I noticed from your headers that you are running an
outdated version of OE. I would visit Windows Updates ASAP and download at
least the critical patches.

Since you don't have the registry key, that's not your issue.

If you have set Tools, Options, Read, Read All Messages in Plain Text,
images will not automatically show.

For a quick workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H

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.

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
