I have Outlook Express 6 and Internet Explorer 7. I received an e-mail with
red x’s in place of some photos. I right-clicked the red x’s hoping to find
a Show Picture link in the context menu, but it was not there.

I then clicked Tools, Options, Security tab in Outlook Express hoping to
find a check in the box labeled Block images and other external content in
HTML e-mail, but it was unchecked.

I then went to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced tab, Multimedia heading in
Internet Explorer hoping to find the box labeled Show Pictures unchecked, but
it was checked.

I then went back to the sender of the e-mail and asked him:: 1. To go to
Tools, Options, Send, Mail sending format, click on the HTML Settings button,
and make certain Send Pictures With Messages is checked. And 2. To send the
e-mail with the embedded pictures to his e-mail address. He replied that the
Send Pictures box was checked and he sent an e-mail to himself and the
pictures appeared.

Can anyone tell me what I can do to change the red x’s to the embedded
pictures?

If you send yourself an HTML message with an embedded pic, do you see the
pic in the received message?

You didn't say that you checked the source and the pictures are attached.
If the pictures are not attached, then the problem is not in OE.
If you Ctrl + F3, you should have several lines of

It is the SENDERS FAULT. Have him/her apply a check mark --
OE --- Tools/Options/Send/Send pictures with messages in the
HTML setting.

Then the problem, whatever it is, is not on your end.
