No email pictures

[LCalder865]

Can someone tell me why some people I forward email with pictures to can not see or open the pictures in them?

Could you explain a few more details...
What email do you use? Web based (like Yahoo)? POP3 (Outlook Express)? AOL? Wouldn't hurt to know your OS either, including any service packs.

Are you talking about attachments? Or are you talking about embedding the pictures? Are you creating any of these emails? Or strictly forwarding them?
Do the pictures come in if you forward the email to yourself?

I use Outlook Express throught sbcglobal.net which goes through Yahoo. One of the ones that can't open any pictures is my husband at work. Also his brother can't get any pictures from me. If I save the pictures to .jpg and then attach or inbed then my husband can get them sometimes.

My os is a Gateway P 4
2.4 GHz
512 MB of Ram
Windows XP Home Edition versuib 2002 with Service Pack 1

It sounds like the problem is on their end? Or...is it that they can't get pictures from only you? Does everyone else receive those emails OK? Are you able to send all pictures to yourself OK?

Here are the settings that you or they should have in Outlook Express.
OE->Tools->Options
1) Security Tab.
Check "Internet Zone."
2) Uncheck "Block images and other external content in HTML email."
3) Read Tab
Uncheck "Read all messages in plain text."
If you don't do this you will not see any images or stationery in email. So
this step is simple but it's very important!
4) Check "HTML" under the heading "Mail Sending Format"

If your settings are good, then I would guess it is their settings. Simple things like too much security can stop them. That can come from Internet Explorer, OE, anti-virus, firewall or even pop-up blockers.
