Sorry, my error in my first reply. I didn't scroll down far enough to see
images properly embedded. What you might do, if you wish, is forward the
mail to me and let me look at it to see if any obvious error can be found
in its handling. Without that, it's really hard to tell. If you wish to
forward it, please do as an attachment (I.e., right click on the message

 /FONTIMG alt=184a62.gifFONT face=Arial size=2BRBRBRWhy
did the English build them like that? BRBRBecause the first rail

if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on

There's probably something screwy in the message HTML code.

If you do a Ctrl-F2 while viewing the message, that will open a Window
with the HTML code. You can copy/paste that here so that we can see
it.

OK Thanks - I can see as attachments - but when I change settings in
Tools|Options|Security I still can't get the images to display
"inline". Being a number of them its hard to relate the text to the
images.

Any more ideas?

Bill


"Michael Santovec" wrote in message

That's an Active-X logo. It means that the HTML code needs to run an
Active-X program to display the image and it can't due to security
settings or other problems.

If you just want to see the images, then select Tools, Options, Read,
Read All messages in plain text. Then switch to another message and
back to the problem one. The images should appear as attachments.

Or you could try changing the security zone for OE to Internet and
see if that works.

It looks like its been forwarded mutiple times as there are shades of
Outlook as well as Incredimail in there and their HTML is often
non-standard, as Jim indicated with the image that had the alt tag and
nothing else. I suspect its the sender of the message that has messed it up
and its not an OE problem per se.

In addition, you need to turn off email scanning with your antivirus
software. With AVG you have to uninstall it and then reinstall it and
disable the email scanning option when you do the reinstall. see

Oh well - neither of the two I sent were bounced, so as you say they are
stuck somewhere!

I think what Steve has said is true - since it was one of those jokes that
do the rounds.

Unfortunately my source had deleted it from his Hotmail; I might try to
reconstruct it in Word sometime. Weather too nice for indoors - going to be
35C today.

Thanks for your interest.
