Outlook Express

jquinlan · 12-01-2004, 01:56 AM

I am having trouble with my email using outlook express. When I receive an email with embedded pictures I do not receive the pictures but they come as attachments. I also get an attachment with the original email but when I open it there are no pictures. I know the sender embedded them on the email. This just started recently. I am using Win XP and have just put in SP2. I have checked all my settings in OE and Explorer to show pictures. Cannot figure out what happened. Anyone have a similar problem? Am I in the right forum?

In Options / Security tab uncheck "Block images and...."

You can try this software 'FOXMAIL',I use this long time ,I think 'foxmail' is very good and is free too.
You can download:

I searched about 'foxmail' information.
Foxmail is a compact, yet very powerful email program with many useful features and a pleasant interface. It supports POP3 accounts as well as Hotmail accounts and offers support for HTML email, multiple accounts, mailbox encryption and more. Foxmail also comes with a WYSIWIG tool to compose nice looking HTML emails from templates or scratch. The program also offers filter options, allowing you to act upon incoming mail that meets certain criteria - you can delete messages, forward them, auto-respond to them and more based on keywords appearing in the subject, address, text etc. The Express Send feature enables you to send mail directly to the recipient, using the built in SMTP server, thereby bypassing your ISP. Foxmail includes many other features, including a remote mail viewer to manage mail on the server, as well as a small scroll ticker that displays message subjects as they arrive in your inbox.. It is probably one of the most capable email programs you can find and an excellent alternative to Outlook Express (can import Outlook messages).

In Options / Read tab "Read all messages as plain text" should be unchecked.

U shud be careful when installing updates, i.e. Service Pack 2. It's nothing but trouble, esp because it completely mucks up ur system.

Try unchecking "Read all messages as plain text".

I unchecked "read all messages in plain text" and everything works like it did before. Thank you very much. I sure was frustrated trying to figure out what happened. You made a happy camper.
