I installed cable broadband last week and ever since, all my email messages
have been stripped of the html graphics. I subscribe to numerous trusted
sites i.e. Amazon.com, Buy.com, Cnet.com etc. and now only get text
messages accompanied by those little boxes with the red 'x' in them.

Have confirmed all the Security settings as described here and elsewhere.
Plus, the option View Message in HTML is now grayed out.

My ISP, Comcast cable, insists they installed no software that would disable
this feature yet I had no problems for years on my clunky old dial-up.

I'm sure there's another setting I have to locate, possibly in the registry,
or Internet Explorer, or some other?

WinXP Home SP2

Thanks !

Yes Bruce, did all the 'obvious' checks posted here and MS KB, and various
internet sources.

Did find a KB article describing how to uninstall and then, reinstall OE and
I just may have to go to that if no one else can come up with suggestions.

Thanks for all the links Bruce. It'll take me some time to work thru them
but I will give them a go and let you know if successful.

Oh, I see. Was buried under those carats and thought part of a previous post.
The only thing without a carat was the 'news' item under my signature.

So you suggested the Tool Options & uncheck the HTML content box? Yes,
I've been thru those menus over and over again. Every button and every TAB.

There's some other underlying cause of this I'm pretty sure and Bruce sent
me numerous links to articles that may be the root cause of all this but
it'll take me some time to work thru it all.
