I suspect he has cut and pasted his original source and lost the gifs in the process, rather than just forwarding the message. Make sense? /QP More sense than I have come up with. I'm not a Hotmail person, but with OE, you cannot copy/paste a picture into an e-mail and expect the recipient to see it. You have to save it to your HDD and then either insert it, or attach it. Betcha that's the problem. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Bill" wrote in message ...

The code suggests your correspondent is sending mail using Windows Live mail
(the proposed replacement for Hotmail) and that program is not correctly indicating a filepath to any image file, and the net result of that is that when the message is sent, no image file is included. As an example, one gif file is indicated by this tag IMG alt=184ac0.gif and is not found when the message is sent since no drive/folder path to "184ac0.gif" is indicated. The same problem exists throughout the code for all images. -- Jim Pickering MVP-Windows Mail applications Please reply only to the newsgroup. "Bill" wrote in message ...

BR /FONTIMG alt=184a62.gifFONT face=Arial size=2BRBRBRWhy did the English build them like that? BRBRBecause the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways and that's the gauge they used. BRBRWhy did "they" use that gauge then?

Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
